Texas LHG facility expansion discussed

Oct 11 2019


The US Coast Guard is seeking comments on a Letter of Intent and Preliminary Waterway Suitability Assessment submitted by Sunoco Partners Marketing & Terminals to expand the existing liquefied hazardous gas (LHG) operations in Texas.

Sunoco wants to increase the number of liquefied propane and butane ship visits from around 120 per year to 432 ship visits per year.

In addition, the company intends to expand operations to include 120 liquefied ethane ship visits per year.

The USCG has notified the public of this proposed increase in LHG marine traffic on the Sabine/Neches Waterway and is soliciting comments relevant to its preparation of a Letter of Recommendation to the federal, state, or local agency with jurisdiction over the proposed facility.

Comments must be received by 6th November, the USCG said.
