New LNG Bunker Barge Comes to Port of Savannah, Georgia

Crowley accepts delivery of its LNG bunker barge, Progress.
Some exciting news to share related to the Marcellus/Utica. Shipping company Crowley announced it had accepted delivery of the LNG bunker barge Progress, the largest U.S. Jones Act-compliant vessel of its kind, after construction was completed at Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. The Progress will expand access to cleaner energy for ship operators at the Port of Savannah, Georgia, upon final commissioning there this month. Shell signed a long-term agreement with Crowley to operate the barge, providing another fueling location to ships using liquefied natural gas. You may recall that Kinder Morgan owns and operates the Elba Island LNG liquefaction facility in Savannah and contracts all of Elba Island's LNG production to Shell. Are you beginning to see the dots connect?
