Suitability

The U.S. Coast Guard has issued a waterway suitability report for the proposed Jordan Cove Energy liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal, finding that the International Port of Coos Bay, OR, cannot currently handle LNG tanker traffic, but it believes this could change if certain navigational, security and safety measures are enacted.

The Warrenton, OR, liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving terminal proposal for the mouth of the Columbia River filed its Water Suitability Assessment (WSA) study with the U.S. Coast Guard Wednesday, marking another small step in its competition with at least two other LNG projects in the state working their way through federal/state permitting processes. Oregon LNG is the revamped project originally proposed as Skipanon LNG in 2004 by Calpine Corp.
