Eagle LNG begins NGL plant construction in US
Eagle LNG has begun construction on its new natural gas liquefaction plant in West Jacksonville, Florida, US.
The new facility is planned to come on stream and produce liquefied natural gas (LNG) by early 2017 and will supply LNG to Crowley Maritime.
The plant will feature a 1,000,000-gallon storage tank and an LNG truck loading system, and have a capacity to produce 200,000 gallons per day.
Eagle LNG CEO Dick Brown said: "LNG produces fewer emissions and is an overall cleaner fuel than sources such as diesel and heavy fuel oil, which helps companies improve sustainability efforts and meet regulatory mandates within a sound economic framework."
Crowley Puerto Rico services senior vice president and general manager John Hourihan said: "Having reliable access to sufficient quantities of LNG will be essential to our operations as we introduce our new LNG powered Commitment-Class ConRo (container / roll-on roll-off) ships to the Puerto Rico market next year.
"The facility will also afford us the opportunity to export LNG in ISO tanks to customers in Puerto Rico and the rest of the Caribbean Basin, something we are already doing with LNG sourced from outside of Florida."
The LNG plant has been designed to load LNG ISO containers for supply to nearby island markets.
Eagle LNG is individually constructing a fuel depot dockside at the Talleyrand Marine Terminal on the St. Johns River in order to support fueling ships.
The marine terminal will use new design technology and operates within a small footprint for bunkering operations.
Eagle LNG is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ferus Natural Gas Fuels and owns LNG logistics assets, which are supporting LNG piloting activities in other industries throughout the country.
