Expected to deliver competitively priced US LNG and offer significant economic benefits to the region, the deepwater port is anticipated to be commissioned in 2026.

In a press statement, Grand Isle LNG said: “Because the Deepwater Port licensing application will be sanctioned by MARAD, it will go through a rigorous and comprehensive review by numerous federal and state agencies that will ensure the planned facility is compliant with all environmental and safety requirements.”

Featuring a platform-based modular design, the facility will comprise a crew quarters platform, two gas treatment platforms, and two 2.1 million tonnes per annum liquefaction platforms.

It will also consist of two loading platforms, one thermal oxidiser platform, and two 155,000m³ storage and offloading vessels.
