PROJECTS
UNDER DEVELOPMENT
GALVESTON LNG BUNKER PORT
Galveston, Texas (300,000 gpd)
Galveston LNG Bunker Port is a small-scale LNG bunker terminal in development by Pilot to supply clean burning LNG to the rapidly expanding fleet of LNG-fueled vessels. With new international regulations mandating cleaner burning fuels for the marine industry starting in 2020 and the shipping industry’s drive to reduce carbon emissions, GLBP is ideally situated to supply the growing Galveston Bay Port Complex with marine bunker fuel. The project is supported by the financial strength of our partner Seapath Group.
FUTURE PROJECT
CORK LNG IMPORT TERMINAL
Port of Cork, Ireland (3 MTPA)
The Cork FSRU Import Terminal will be located in the Whitegate area of Cork Harbour, with a short pipeline lateral to Gas Networks Ireland’s main gas pipeline transmission system. The proposed terminal will provide a security of supply backstop for Ireland’s natural gas and energy needs. By design, the flexibility of an FSRU project can support and adapt to the nation's energy transition plans. Pilot has executed an agreement for the exclusive development of the terminal with the Port of Cork Company.
FUTURE PROJECT
SALINA CRUZ LNG EXPORT TERMINAL
Oaxaca, Mexico (0.65 MTPA)
Salina Cruz LNG is a mid-scale LNG liquefaction facility in development with GF International. The project is strategically located on Mexico’s Pacific Coast at the Port of Salina Cruz. The project's market focus is on LNG as a marine fuel for the Pacific West Coast, as far north as Southern California and south to the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal. There is also optionality to utilize Salina Cruz for competitively priced, Henry Hub-linked exports to Asia as the project location avoids needing to transit the Panama Canal.

RESOURCES
LNG 101
LNG offers tremendous benefits for consumers and the environment. It is versatile, cleaner-burning than many traditional alternatives once regasified, safe, and abundant. LNG can be made available for a variety of uses. LNG’s physical and chemical properties – including the fact that it will not ignite in its liquid state – make it safer than other commonly used hydrocarbons. Once regasified as natural gas, it emits less carbon dioxide than other fossil fuels. Additionally, the U.S. has an abundance of natural gas, making LNG affordable. Discover the many benefits and uses for LNG below.
