In line with Texas LNG’s 'Green by Design' approach, the tugboats will be among the most modern, low-emissions tugboats available to serve a facility of Texas LNG’s size.
Brendan Duval, CEO and Founder of Glenfarne Energy Transition, said: “The Texas LNG team undertook a comprehensive process to identify a marine service provider that not only matches our commitment to environmental stewardship, but also provides our customers with reliable, cost-effective marine services. We are pleased to have Gulf LNG Tugs on board as a partner and look forward to the jobs and local content they will bring to both Texas LNG and the local Rio Grande Valley community.”
In a joint statement from Gulf LNG Tugs partners: “Gulf LNG Tugs is excited to be providing marine services in a long-term partnership with Texas LNG. We are proud to be the exclusive tug operator for LNG vessels to yet another successful LNG project in the Port of Brownsville and look forward to expanding our operations in the port and our presence in the Rio Grande Valley community.”
Texas LNG is ideally situated for consistent and reliable maritime operations, with low probability of storm impact, consistent operating temperatures, and a location in a protected port. Texas LNG is also designed to be one of the lowest-emitting export terminals on the planet, providing reliable, responsibly sourced US LNG to help fuel the global energy transition to renewables and reinforce energy security.
This news follows Texas LNG’s recent announcement that it signed a Heads of Agreement (HOA) with EQT Corp. for natural gas liquefaction services for 0.5 million tpy of LNG, and additionally announced partnerships with Baker Hughes and ABB to help develop the terminal, representing more than half a billion dollars’ worth of equipment selections for Texas LNG to date.
