In Texas on May 19, 2025, Galveston LNG Bunker Port LLC secured its final federal approvals from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Coast Guard, clearing the way to begin construction of the first dedicated LNG marine fuel terminal on the U.S. Gulf Coast.
The facility, a joint venture between Pilot LNG and Seapath Group, will be built on the Texas City Ship Channel and is designed to supply up to 720,000 gallons of liquefied natural gas per day to LNG-powered vessels across the Houston-Galveston port complex. Fuel deliveries are expected to begin in the second half of 2027.
“This is a crucial milestone for our project and is the culmination of intense effort and hard work by the overall team,” said Shaun Davison, Chief Development Officer of Pilot LNG. “We are in the very advantageous position of being the only permitted LNG bunker project in the region.”
Josh Lubarsky, President of Seapath Group, said: “We have made a significant financial commitment to this project… We could not be more excited for the start of construction in the coming months.”
A final investment decision is expected by mid-2025.
