Timeline
Port Dolphin Energy LLC filed an application to construct and own the Port Dolphin Deepwater port on 29 March 2007. The company received its federal deepwater port license in April 2010.
Construction of Port Dolphin would proceed in two phases lasting a total of approximately 22 months:
- The first phase will consist of the offsite fabrication of components including the unloading buoys (STL Buoys) and associated equipment and marine piping.
- The second phase will consist of siting the STL Buoys and associated equipment and laying the marine pipeline. Separate construction activities would involve the construction of the onshore interconnection facilities in Manatee County, Florida that are described in a companion application filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission under Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
