Happy Monday! Welcome back to another week of ESC News Blog! We hope you had a little fun over the holiday weekend and had some good hotdogs, burgers, and a little apple pie! Let’s get started!
Did anyone
happen to read the gCaptain Shipping Newsletter on July 7, 2025, their
article titled, “Tensions Are Starting to Brew over Waterways for U.S. LNG
Cargos”? In the article, it spoke on a
valid point Venture Global Inc. has made in a letter to the U.S. Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission on a U.S. waterway and the implications another LNG Plant’s
waterway plan will have on the shared channel and its neighbors. Venture Global’s LNG facility Calcasieu Pass is across
from Commonwealth’s planned LNG facility along the same channel as Woodside’s
Louisiana LNG and Energy Transfer’s Lake Charles LNG planned in another area of
the same channel in Louisiana. In
addition, Venture Global has started to receive its permits on its proposed CP2
LNG facility which will also be constructed near the same channel. Venture Global has brought to light possible
problems with the ever-expanding planned LNG facilities in the area and how
will the federal authorities handle the increased traffic. In addition, Commonwealth’s plan included a
request to build a turning basin and what will happen when dredging needs to be
done. How will federal authorities
handle all these variables is a valid point brought up in the letter from
Venture Global, and we wish federal authorities luck figuring out this puzzle! If you would like to read more of the gCaptain’s
