Happy Thursday!
Well, we like to keep up with the
happenings on the Gulf Coast, and we especially pay attention to the Texas Ports. We blogged on Galveston LNG Bunker Port, LLC
which will be the first LNG bunker terminal in the region (See our Blog in May
2025, and January 2026 for details). We
blogged on the Battleship Texas is setting up shop in Galveston, and where it
will be and how the restorations are going (see our Blog update in December
2025 and March 2025). Well, now we have
something else proposing to be built along Galveston Wharves area.
Did anyone happen to read Chron.’s
Breaking News on October 8, 2026, their article titled, “Alert: Gulf Coast port
lands major LNG deal”? The article, it goes on to speak on how the Galveston Wharves Board of Trustees recently
made an agreement with Power LNG LLC to
lease land for a LNG facility to be built on Pelican Island. Power LNG will be creating a facility
which will be able to make 400,000 gallons a day to be used to as fuel for LNG
vessels coming to the region. Galveston
Wharves is leasing a 30-acre area on the deep-water side of Pelican Island, and the development
is proposed to have a deepwater pier, liquefaction trains, storage tank, and a pipeline.
Power LNG is expecting the
application process for federal and state approvals and construction of the
facility to be completed by the end of 2028.
We wish the Power LNG luck getting their permits and the project being
completed on time and on budget. If you
