Americas LNG cooperation

The agreement will also include enabling the transport of LNG in ISO containers to remote markets in Hawaii and Alaska; particularly focusing on the the servicing of local markets by way of LNG bunker/shuttle vessels.

Under the agreement, Liquiline and LNG America will jointly develop specific proposals for prospective LNG customers in Hawaii and Alaska as well as marine fuel markets in the ports of Seattle and Tacoma.

“A relationship with LNG America provides a depth of knowledge in US energy markets and in the servicing of marine and local markets through LNG bunker/shuttle vessels,” said Calum McClure, president, Liquiline North America.

Keith Meyer, president and CEO of LNG America, added: “By teaming up with Liquiline, LNG America gains immediate experience in the deployment of LNG by ISO container in remote applications. Both companies have been investigating markets in Alaska and Hawaii and can now join forces with a unique combination of skills to deliver highly competitive and reliable LNG supplies.”

Liquiline is an LNG midstream company providing LNG fuel solutions for companies in the shipping, transport, process and power production industries.

LNG America, based in Houston Texas, is developing LNG distribution networks including America’s first Jones Act LNG bunker/shuttle vessels.

By 2016, LNG America plans to have full LNG bunkering capability in select major US ports.
