Gulf LNG Energy, LLC owns the Gulf LNG Terminal, an LNG unloading, storage and regasification facility located near the City of Pascagoula in Jackson County, Mississippi. The terminal, which includes a 5-mile sendout pipeline, is located at the end of State Highway 611 and is situated adjacent to the federally maintained Bayou Casotte Navigation Channel.

The terminal has a single dock facility that is currently permitted to receive up to 170,000 cubic meter LNG vessels and designed to handle vessels with capacities of up to 250,000 cubic meters. As part of the liquefaction project, the permitted limit will be increased to 208,000 cubic meters.

The dock facility is outfitted with four 16-inch full-bore cryogenic arms, three that are dedicated to liquid service and one for vapor service. The liquid arms tie to a 36-inch header feeding a single line that goes directly to two LNG storage tanks. The vapor arm ties to a 16-inch line that goes directly to the terminal’s compressor facilities.

The two LNG storage tanks are full containment tanks, each with a capacity of 160,000 cubic meters. Each tank is outfitted with three in-tank pumps with a total unloading capacity of 12,000 cubic meters per hour. The flow of LNG from the in-tank pumps goes to the regasification facilities in the terminal.
