Petition to Exempt LNG Bunkering from FERC
Seaspan Energy filed a petition on February 7, 2025 asking the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to declare that the sale and loading of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from a bunkering facility to a bunkering barge for the sole purpose of using that LNG as marine vessel fuel would not be subject to FERC jurisdiction under sections 3 and 7 of the Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. 717(b), 717(f)). Interested parties may file protests or motions to intervene by 5 p.m. Eastern on March 31, 2025.
