Eagle LNG Partners (“Eagle LNG”) meets a major milestone for
their Jacksonville Export Project. The United States Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) granted the company their draft
environmental impact statement (DEIS). The draft EIS puts Eagle LNG
on a clear path to FID on the Jacksonville Export Project and
continues Eagle LNG’s success in using small-scale LNG to supply
bunkering to the marine industry and to provide small scale LNG
cargoes to markets in the Caribbean.

“Our customers, and potential clients, join us in being
encouraged that FERC has released the DEIS ahead of schedule. It
moves us considerably closer to meeting our goal of expanding clean
burning, domestic, and affordable LNG supply for marine bunkering
and for small-scale LNG projects in the Caribbean. Once completed,
the Jacksonville Export Facility will be the lowest cost source of
small-scale LNG available for our marine bunkering and power
generation clients,” said Sean Lalani, President of Eagle LNG
Partners. “We want to thank the North Florida community for the
tremendous support they have shown us. This project will inject
approximately $500 million of infrastructure investment plus
provide numerous well-paying direct and indirect jobs in Florida.
Once completed, the Jacksonville Export Project will contribute to
improving air quality in Florida, the east coast and the Caribbean
as our clients’ transition to the use of natural gas from heavy
fuel oil and diesel,” he added. “We want to acknowledge and thank
all the cooperating federal agencies for their work on this, the
U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, and the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, along with many others.
We also want to acknowledge the efforts of all the cooperating
state and local agencies including the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection, the City of Jacksonville, and the Port of
Jacksonville, in addition to numerous other agencies.”
