Pilot LNG Announces Galveston Bunker Port
Jul 16, 2020
Pilot LNG announced today the filing of regulatory applications for development of a LNG bunker terminal to be located on Pelican Island in Galveston, Texas. Pilot LNG has filed regulatory applications with the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) as the lead permitting agency. The company expects a Final Investment Decision on the project in the second half of 2021 with operations starting in 2024.
“Pilot LNG’s Galveston LNG Bunker Port will provide clean-burning LNG to one of the US’s largest Port complexes,” said Pilot LNG Chief Executive, Jonathan Cook. “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,” Cook added.
Pilot LNG noted the facility infrastructure will be designed around floating liquefaction (FLNG) technology to be engineered, and constructed by Pilot partner, Wison Offshore & Marine.
