LNG grows in US

The company has signed Memorandum of Understandings (MoUs) with Port Isabel Logistical Offshore Terminal (PILOT) in Texas and the Cameron Parish Port, Harbor & Terminal District (CPP) in Louisiana to facilitate the use of LNG as a marine fuel. These will be the third and fourth LNG marine bunkering locations that Stabilis supports on the Gulf Coast.

“PILOT is committed to being a leader in environmentally sustainable marine operations,” said Scott Brown, chairman and CEO of PILOT. “Offering clean LNG fuel to our customers in Port Isabel is an important step in that process.”

“With the number of LNG-fuelled vessels in the global fleet growing rapidly, having LNG fuelling services in the Cameron Parish Port is an important step in our commercial growth,” noted Clair Hebert Marceaux, port director of Cameron Parish Port.

PILOT LNG rollout

Stabilis and PILOT will work together to provide turnkey LNG fuelling solutions to marine vessels calling on the port, including identifying suitable dock space for shore-to-ship fuelling operations, obtaining the necessary permits and approvals, identifying and educating potential customers, and executing LNG fuelling events. Stabilis will deploy its existing fleet of mobile cryogenic assets, including LNG transportation and distribution equipment, and provide LNG from its liquefaction facility George West, Texas to support LNG fuelling operations. LNG bunkering services are expected to be available at PILOT in early 2022.

CPP LNG activities

CPP and Stabilis will work together to provide turnkey LNG fuelling solutions to marine vessels calling on the port, including identifying suitable dock space for shore-to-ship fuelling operations, obtaining the necessary permits and approvals, identifying and educating potential customers, and executing LNG fuelling events.

Stabilis will deploy its existing fleet of mobile cryogenic assets, including LNG transportation and distribution equipment, and provide LNG from its liquefaction facilities in Port Allen, Louisiana and George West, Texas to support LNG fuelling operations. LNG bunkering services are expected to be available at CPP by the end of 2021.
