June 26, 2023 [PortNews]- Ocean Point Terminals, along with New Fortress Energy Inc., a global energy infrastructure company, announced the commencement of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) ship-to-ship transfer operations at Ocean Point’s dock facilities in St. Croix during a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday. The company welcomed the first LNG carrier to its Dock 8 last week, where it will be moored for transfers on a temporary basis until a permanent operation is established on Dock 6 later in the year.
The announcement of the company’s new operation follows a 3-year process to enable LNG carriers to be moored at Ocean Point’s facility for ship-to-ship transfers and creates a new line of business for the Company. The LNG will be transferred from large “supply vessels” to smaller “shuttle ships” for redistribution across the Atlantic region.
