US-based energy company Texas LNG has selected Gulf LNG Tugs of Texas, a consortium of Suderman and Young Towing Company, Bay-Houston Towing Company and Moran Towing Corporation, to build, deliver and operate tugs.
The tugs will be operated under a long-term agreement to assist LNG carriers arriving at the Texas LNG export terminal, which will be constructed in the Port of Brownsville. The facility is scheduled to become operational by early 2028.
The tugs will be fitted with low-emission technologies in line with Texas LNG's aim of minimising environmental impact.
