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.

One of the United States top oil export ports said it plans to build infrastructure for bunkering vessels fueled by liquefied natural gas (LNG).
The Port of Corpus Christi Authority said it inked a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Stabilis Solutions to facilitate the use of LNG as a marine fuel at the U.S. Gulf Coast port as vessels running on the cleaner-burning fuel become increasingly prominent among the world shipping fleet.
The Port of Corpus Christi said some of the vessels calling the port today are already LNG-compatible and added that it hopes to attract more LNG-capable vessels and encourage conversions to LNG power by increasing the fuel s availability.

The Port of Corpus Christi is partnering with Stabilis Solutions Inc. to build liquified natural gas fueling infrastructure at the port.
The port and Stabilis, a Houston company, announced Tuesday they had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding for the structure.
Port officials said need for more LNG infrastructure has increased as a growing number of vessels that travel in and out of the port are LNG-powered. We have a strong commitment to protecting our air attainment status, so by offering LNG as an alternative to diesel as a marine fuel within our gateway, we are evolving our sustainability protocols by reducing mobile source emissions, port CEO Sean Strawbridge said.
