LNG Bunkering for Marine Vessels @ the Port of New Orleans: Siting and Facility Components

The Port of New Orleans has expressed interest in investigating the physical, operational and safety issues associated with a liguefied natural gas (LNG) Bunkering Facility sited within their jurisdiction. University of New Orleans Transportation Institute (UNOTI) is conducting a best-practices assessment based on the most current research documents and discussions with maritime leaders in the Greater New Orleans area. Reports reviewed include the recently released ABS authored "Bunkering of Liquefied Natural Gas-fueled Marine Vessels in North America" as well an on-going professional journals and related publications including a series of White Papers by FC Gas Intelligence and related resources. UNOTI is also conducting on-site inspections of the Harvey Gulf LNG Bunkering station under construction at Port Fourchon and is planning on interviewing key-decision-makers who participated in the permitting of this facility.
