Eagle LNG Partners (“Eagle LNG”) meets a major milestone for their
Jacksonville Export Project. The United States Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) granted the company their draft environmental impact
statement (DEIS). The draft EIS puts Eagle LNG on a clear path to FID on
the Jacksonville Export Project and continues Eagle LNG’s success in
using small-scale LNG to supply bunkering to the marine industry and to
provide small scale LNG cargoes to markets in the Caribbean.

“Our customers, and potential clients, join us in being encouraged that
FERC has released the DEIS ahead of schedule. It moves us considerably
closer to meeting our goal of expanding clean burning, domestic, and
affordable LNG supply for marine bunkering and for small-scale LNG
projects in the Caribbean. Once completed, the Jacksonville Export
Facility will be the lowest cost source of small-scale LNG available for
our marine bunkering and power generation clients,” said Sean Lalani,
President of Eagle LNG Partners. “We want to thank the North Florida
community for the tremendous support they have shown us. This project
will inject approximately $500 million of infrastructure investment plus
provide numerous well-paying direct and indirect jobs in Florida. Once
completed, the Jacksonville Export Project will contribute to improving
air quality in Florida, the east coast and the Caribbean as our clients’
transition to the use of natural gas from heavy fuel oil and diesel,” he
added. “We want to acknowledge and thank all the cooperating federal
agencies for their work on this, the U.S. Department of Energy, U.S.
Coast Guard, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the U.S. Department of
Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration,
along with many others. We also want to acknowledge the efforts of all
the cooperating state and local agencies including the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection, the City of Jacksonville, and
the Port of Jacksonville, in addition to numerous other agencies.”
