領航液化天然氣有限責任公司(Pilot LNG LLC)周四報告稱，該公司已向監管機構提交了擬議中的加爾維斯頓(Galveston)液化天然氣燃料港項目的申請。

領航液化天然氣公司在發給鉆井網的一份書面聲明中指出，該設施將以一個浮動液化工廠為特色，并向休斯頓、得克薩斯和加爾維斯頓港口的船舶提供液化天然氣船用燃料。該公司提議在加爾維斯頓和得克薩斯城之間的鵜鶘島上開發這個天然氣終端。

領航液化天然氣公司(Pilot LNG)的加爾維斯頓液化天然氣燃料港(Galveston LNG Bunker Port)將向美國一家公司提供清潔燃燒的液化天然氣領航液化天然氣首席執行官喬納森?庫克(Jonathan Cook)表示。“擬議中的加爾維斯頓液化天然氣燃料港，將為供應日益增長的液化天然氣海運燃料市場提供必要的基礎設施，大幅減少海運排放，同時降低貨主的燃料成本。”

根據領航液化天然氣的網站，該設施的浮動天然氣液化和存儲單元將擁有每年50萬噸(6600萬標準立方英尺/天)的液化能力和18000立方英尺的存儲能力。該公司補充說，Wison Offshore & Marine將設計和建造漂浮液化天然氣(FLNG)設施。

Wison Offshore & Marine公司北美地區負責人Vivian Li表示:“Wison很高興能夠參與美國這一突破性項目的設計和建造液化裝置，為加爾維斯頓、休斯頓和得克薩斯城港口的終端用戶市場供應液化天然氣。”自從在阿根廷交付了世界上第一個FLNG設備以來，Wison已經開發了許多跨越液化天然氣價值鏈的浮動解決方案，專注于促進清潔能源基礎設施替代全球市場。”

領航液化天然氣公司指出，預計將于2021年下半年對液化天然氣燃料補給項目做出最終投資決定，預計將于2024年開始運營。

LNG Port Proposed for Houston Area

Pilot LNG LLC has filed regulatory applications for its proposed Galveston LNG Bunker Port project, the company reported Thursday.

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.”

According to Pilot LNG’s website, the facility’s floating gas liquefaction and storage unit would boast a nameplate liquefaction capacity of 0.5 million tons per annum (66 million standard cubic feet per day) and 18,000 cubic feet of storage capacity. Wison Offshore & Marine will engineer and construct the floating LNG (FLNG) facility, the company added.

“Wison is pleased to be part of this breakthrough U.S. project by designing and building the liquefaction unit that will supply LNG to the end-user market in the Galveston, Houston and Texas City port complex,” commented Vivian Li, head of Wison Offshore & Marine in North America. “Since delivering the world’s first FLNG facility currently operating in Argentina, Wison has developed numerous floating solutions across the LNG value chain, with a focus on promoting a cleaner energy infrastructure alternative to the global market.”

Pilot LNG noted that it expects a final investment decision on the LNG bunkering project in the second half of 2021, with operations projected to start in 2024. The firm stated the U.S.
