Final Construction Permits Issued for First Gulf Coast LNG Bunker Port
- The Galveston LNG Bunker Port, a joint venture of Houston-based Pilot LNG and Seapath Group, received all final permits in 2025 to begin construction on the Texas City Ship Channel.
- This progress follows multi-year efforts integrating engineering, permitting, and third-party supply arrangements to meet growing demand for cleaner marine fuel alternatives in the U.S. Gulf Coast region.
- The project plans a 140-acre greenfield facility deploying two phases: an initial 360,000 gallons per day capacity in phase one and 720,000 gallons per day after phase two, targeting initial deliveries by late 2027.
- Seapath president Josh Lubarsky announced that the company is well-positioned to become the inaugural provider of dedicated liquefied natural gas fuel for marine vessels in the U.S. Gulf region, with the total investment for the project estimated to exceed $300 million.
- By supplying LNG via fuel barge to major ports including Houston, Galveston, and Texas City, the project could establish the foremost clean marine fuel hub on the Gulf Coast and support emission reduction in commercial shipping.
