Pilot LNG LLC has filed regulatory applications for its proposed Galveston LNG Bunker Port project, the company reported recently.
The facility would feature a floating liquefaction plant and provide LNG marine fuel to vessels to the Texas ports of Houston, Texas City and Galveston, Pilot LNG noted in a written statement emailed to Rigzone. The company has proposed developing the terminal on Pelican Island, between Galveston and Texas City.
“Pilot LNG’s Galveston LNG Bunker Port will provide clean-burning LNG to one of the U.S.’s largest port complexes,” remarked Jonathan Cook, Pilot LNG’s chief executive. “The proposed Galveston LNG Bunker Port would provide the necessary infrastructure to supply the growing market for LNG marine fuel, substantially reducing marine emissions and cutting shippers’ fuel costs at the same time.”
