Port of Corpus Christi Authority and Stabilis Solutions Partner to Construct LNG Fueling Infrastructure for Marine Vessels
04 Maggio 2021 - 9:13PM
The Port of Corpus Christi Authority and Stabilis
Solutions Inc. (“Stabilis”) (NASDAQ:SLNG), a leading provider of
energy transition services, including hydrogen and liquefied
natural gas (“LNG”) fueling solutions, have entered into a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to facilitate the use of LNG as a
marine fuel at the Port of Corpus Christi.
LNG-powered vessels are becoming increasingly
prominent amongst the world fleet, as LNG fuel benefits port
customers in both efficiency and emissions reductions compared to
diesel combustion engines. Some of the vessels calling on the Port
of Corpus Christi today are already LNG-compatible. With this
partnership and the increasing availability of LNG as a marine fuel
at the Port of Corpus Christi, the Port and Stabilis hope to
attract more LNG-capable vessels and to encourage the conversions
to LNG power. The Port of Corpus Christi and Stabilis have
committed to providing extensive customer education and technical
support as well as attracting capital, including grant funding
opportunities designed to incentivize market development and viable
customer solutions.
“The Port of Corpus Christi Authority sees LNG
fueling of marine vessels as an important step toward our broader
commitment to decarbonization and improved air quality,” said Sean
Strawbridge, Chief Executive Officer of the Port of Corpus Christi.
“We have a strong commitment to protecting our air attainment
status, so by offering LNG as an alternative to diesel as a marine
fuel within our gateway, we are evolving our sustainability
protocols by reducing mobile source emissions.”
According to the MOU, the Port of Corpus Christi
will provide suitable access to dock space for shore-to-ship
fueling operations while Stabilis will deploy its existing fleet of
mobile cryogenic assets (including LNG transportation and
distribution equipment) from its LNG production plant in South
Texas to support LNG fueling operations.
“We are excited to partner with the Port of Corpus
Christi on this opportunity,” said Jim Reddinger, President and CEO
of Stabilis Solutions. “The use of LNG as a marine fuel is critical
for marine operators to reduce their emissions profile, and
Stabilis is uniquely positioned to provide this service to
customers along the Gulf Coast and beyond. Meeting the requirements
of the energy transition requires innovative solutions, and we are
excited to be part of this journey with the Port of Corpus Christi
and its partners.”
“We applaud the Port of Corpus Christi and Stabilis
for joining together on such an important endeavor to further the
maritime sector’s efforts to decarbonize and reduce emissions,”
said Peter Keller, Chairman of SEA-LNG, a global industry coalition
established to demonstrate LNG’s benefits as a marine fuel.
“Through innovative thinking and partnerships such as this, SEA-LNG
members like the Port of Corpus Christi and Stabilis are helping
the industry move into a cleaner and more prosperous future.”
