19MAR2019 - NEWS - Officials of US maritime suspends their review on Trafigura Oil Export Project

U.S. maritime officials have recently suspended their review of Swiss trader Trafigura AG’s application for a Gulf Coast deepwater terminal while they await additional information. Trafigura is one of four groups seeking U.S. permits to build deepwater oil export facilities capable of fully loading supertankers that carry 2 million barrels. The projects are designed to load oil flowing from U.S. shale fields onto tankers that will carry it to Asia, Latin America and Europe. The Maritime Administration and U.S. Coast Guard called on Trafigura to provide data on pipeline construction through waterways and on its consultations with groups like the Texas Historical Commission, which focuses on historic preservation, among other things.
