In August 2015, JAX LNG and TOTE Maritime received their first LOA from the USCG, establishing an LNG bunkering facility in the Port of Jacksonville. Since then, JAX LNG has safely delivered LNG to TOTE Maritime’s LNG fuelled container ships. In addition, Pivotal LNG has demonstrated the ability to safely conduct LNG bunkering operations while TOTE Maritime simultaneously loads and off-loads cargo at the port.
“The receipt of this second LOA demonstrates our commitment to our customers, the value of inclusive port stakeholder relationships and exhibits confidence in our rigorous operational risk analysis methodology,” said Tim Hermann, President of Pivotal LNG.
JAX LNG, LLC is a joint venture between Pivotal LNG and Northstar Midstream. Expected to be operational by end of 2017, JAX LNG’s waterfront LNG facility in Jacksonville will be outfitted with a marine dock and truck loading capability. Operated by Pivotal LNG, the facility’s initial daily liquefaction capacity will be 120 000 gal. of LNG per day and the facility will have 2 million gal. of storage capacity.
Pivotal LNG and Southern Company Gas operate a network of LNG production facilities with the capacity to produce over 554 000 gal./d and the ability to store more than 96 million gal.
