The Maritime Administration today announced that comments are being sought by Thursday, Dec. 3 on the Coast Guard’s preparation of an environmental impact statement for the proposed ownership, construction, operation, and decommissioning of an offshore oil export deepwater port ~99 miles off the coast of Cameron Parish, LA at a water depth of 162 feet. The proposed Blue Marlin Offshore Port would accommodate the loading of Very Large Crude Carriers and other crude oil cargo carriers through a Catenary Anchor Leg Mooring.
In conjunction with the comment period, two virtual public scoping meetings will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 2 and Thursday, Dec. 3. Each meeting will be preceded by an informational open house.
