Where is Gulf LNG Terminal?

Gulf LNG Terminal is an LNG import terminal in Mississippi, United States. It is made up of 2 tracked trains and phases.

Is Gulf LNG Terminal operating?

Gulf LNG Terminal is operating, with its first tracked train starting in 2011.

How much LNG can Gulf LNG Terminal handle?

Gulf LNG Terminal has 8.8 Mtpa operating, 10.9 Mtpa proposed, equivalent to 12 bcm/y of gas a year in operation. Capacity at different statuses is never added together.

Who owns Gulf LNG Terminal?

Neither ownership nor an operator is reported for Gulf LNG Terminal in the current tracker release.

Which maritime chokepoints do cargoes from Gulf LNG Terminal pass?

Cargoes from Gulf LNG Terminal would normally pass Panama Canal. This is an editorial model of typical laden voyages by destination market, not vessel tracking, and any individual cargo may go another way.

What pipelines connect to Gulf LNG Terminal?

5 tracked gas pipelines pass within 25 km of Gulf LNG Terminal. Proximity is not proof of a physical connection; each match is listed with its distance.

Supplied via

Chokepoints that cargoes arriving at this terminal typically cross, based on where its region is supplied from.

Panama Canal

Routing is an editorial model of typical laden voyages, held in a hand-maintained lane table. It is not vessel tracking, and it does not account for diversions, canal draught limits, ice class or seasonal closures. See methodology, or take the machine-readable exposure feed. Links to the Chokepoints site are inactive until its domain is set in the environment.

Background on the technology and the terms used on this page.

FSRU versus onshore regasification
An FSRU is a ship that stores LNG and turns it back into gas while moored, doing the job of an onshore import terminal without the onshore construction.
LNG and maritime chokepoints
A maritime chokepoint is a narrow strait or canal that a large share of seaborne trade must pass through, and LNG exposure to them depends entirely on which exporting region supplies which importing market.
Mtpa, bcm and cubic metres
LNG capacity is quoted in three incompatible units, and the two conversions that matter are 1 million tonnes a year equals about 1.36 billion cubic metres of gas a year, and 1 cubic metre of liquid equals about 600 cubic metres of gas.
Reading a capacity figure without being misled
An LNG capacity figure is only meaningful alongside three qualifiers — which unit it is in, which project status it describes, and whether it is a design nameplate or actual output — and most disagreements between sources come from one of those being dropped.
