Happy Wednesday!
Well, you know
we love an update. Sentinel’s Texas GulfLink
(TGL) was in our Blog about a year ago for them receiving their MARAD Deepwater
Port license, after six years of review, now they are in the news again.
Did anyone
happen to read the gCaptain Daily Newsletter on February 4, 2026, their
article titled, “First Trump-Era Deepwater Oil Export License Granted to Texas
GulfLink”? In the article, it spoke on how Sentinel Midstream, LLC has had
their Texas GulfLink LLC (TGL) license granted from the US Department of
Transportation (DOT). TGL will be
offshore from Brazoria County, Texas approximately 27 nautical miles (approximately
31 miles off the coast). The venture
includes a terminal in the Freeport Harbor and a dock at the Port Freeport
Public Docks as well as a deepwater port with a permanent platform which may moor
two very large crude carriers (VLCCs) at the same time with a single point
mooring (SPM) buoy as well as a 45-miles of 42-in OD pipeline and a booster
station, and 18-million-barrel storage tanks.
They anticipate lading rates will be 85,000 barrels per hour for a
single vessel. This is good news for
Sentinel Midstream may decide on their final investment decisions. Well, we wish TGL luck with constructing this
ambitious deepwater terminal and its assets. If you would like to read more of the gCaptain’s
