Offshore oil export port proposed 99 miles off Louisiana
The proposal would build, operate, and later decommission an offshore oil export deepwater port about 99 statute miles off Cameron Parish, Louisiana, in West Cameron Lease Blocks 509 and 508 and East Cameron Block 263 at an approximate water depth of 162 feet. The port would tie into the existing Stingray pipeline and allow loading Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) and other crude carriers using a Catenary Anchor Leg Mooring (CALM), which the notice says will affect local waters and shipping for years to come.
