Corpus Christi Port, Stabilis to Partner on LNG Fueling Solutions
Houston-based Stabilis Solutions Inc. has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Port of Corpus Christi Authority in South Texas to use liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel.
The Port of Corpus Christi and Stabilis have committed to providing customer education and technical support, as well as grant funding opportunities to incentivize developing LNG-powered vessels and customer solutions.
Using LNG as a marine fuel is crucial if marine operators are to reduce their emissions profile, according to Stabilis CEO Jim Reddinger.
“Stabilis is uniquely positioned to provide this service to customers along the Gulf Coast and beyond,” he said. “Meeting the requirements of the energy transition requires innovative solutions, and we are excited to be part of this journey with the Port of Corpus Christi and its partners.”
Port of Corpus Christi Authority and Stabilis Solutions Partner to Construct LNG Fueling Infrastructure for Marine Vessels
The Port of Corpus Christi Authority and Stabilis Solutions Inc. (“Stabilis”) (NASDAQ:SLNG), a leading provider of energy transition services, including hydrogen and liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) fueling solutions, have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to facilitate the use of LNG as a marine fuel at the Port of Corpus Christi.
LNG-powered vessels are becoming increasingly prominent amongst the world fleet, as LNG fuel benefits port customers in both efficiency and emissions reductions compared to diesel combustion engines. Some of the vessels calling on the Port of Corpus Christi today are already LNG-compatible. With this partnership and the increasing availability of LNG as a marine fuel at the Port of Corpus Christi, the Port and Stabilis hope to attract more LNG-capable vessels and to encourage the conversions to LNG power.

According to the Memorandum of Understanding, the Port of Corpus Christi is to provide access to dock space for shore-to-ship fueling operations while Stabilis is to deploy its existing fleet of mobile cryogenic assets (including LNG transportation and distribution equipment) from its LNG production plant in South Texas to support LNG fueling operations.
