- The Maritime Administration approves Delfin LNG’s offshore LNG export port in Louisiana.
- It will be the U.S.’s first offshore LNG export facility.
- The project follows input from federal, state, and safety agencies.
The U.S. Maritime Administration has granted a license to Delfin LNG, LLC, enabling the company to build, operate, and eventually decommission a deepwater port for exporting Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).
Located 37.4 to 40.8 nautical miles off the coast of Louisiana, this port will serve as the first offshore LNG export facility in the U.S. The license was issued after extensive collaboration between the Maritime Administration, U.S. Coast Guard, federal agencies, and state authorities, all of which provided recommendations for environmental and safety conditions.
The Delfin LNG, LLC deepwater port license is being issued in accordance with President Trump’s Executive Order titled, “Unleashing American Energy,” signed January 20, 2025. This deepwater port project will be the first offshore LNG export project in the United States.
