The US Department of Transport Maritime Administration has issued a licence authorising Delfin LNG to own, construct, operate, and eventually decommission a deepwater port to export liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the US. It marks the country’s first offshore LNG export project.

The Delfin LNG deepwater port facility will transport LNG to the global market from US federal waters, approximately 37.4 to 40.8 nautical miles off the coast of Cameron Parish, Louisiana.
