Port of New Orleans to improve LNG bunkering options

The company will develop options for infrastructure development that integrate into Port NOLA’s long-term planning. Cleancor will also provide options for LNG bunkering that are compatible with forecasted customer demand and collaborate with Port NOLA to obtain federal, state, and other authorisations and permits needed to develop the required infrastructure and operations.

The parties will identify, attract and serve customers in Port NOLA’s jurisdiction that use LNG fuel, jointly solicit sources of grant funding to help incentivise early adopters and collaborate to share information on infrastructure necessary to support LNG bunkering.

There is also a proposed expansion of the Port NOLA complex with the addition of an international container terminal in St Bernard Parish which opens the opportunity for new businesses and industries as well as fuel source options.

“LNG paves the way of the future and provides a suitable and sustainable fuel source for the diverse cargo operations at our terminals and in our jurisdiction” added Ms Christian.

The port of Galveston has also recently entered into an MoU with Stabilis Solutions to facilitate using LNG as a marine fuel.
