Finland and Estonia weren't planning for a new terminal but in February of course realized they needed one. The countries are connected by a new gas pipeline so share a common interest. They started a race to construct the ground facilities and acquire a floating terminal ship. Finland was farther along in the construction and it was decided to place the terminal there. It started supplying gas to the grid in in December. It's not famous German red tape so I guess doesn't make the news. https://lngprime.com/europe/finlands-first-fsru-begins-supplying-gas-to-grid/70014/ https://lngprime.com/europe/finlands-first-fsru-begins-suppl... Nowadays almost the whole of Europe is connected by international gas pipelines. Of course there are flow constraints, but it's hard to completely cut off any place. In theory one could send gas from Norway south through UK, Holland, Germany and Poland and then back up north through Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia all the way to Finland. Add the terminals dotting the map and it's a pretty resilient system. This is a nice resource. https://www.gie.eu/publications/maps/gie-lng-map/ https://www.gie.eu/publications/maps/gie-lng-map/
