U.S.-based liquefied natural gas (LNG) export infrastructure development company Delfin Midstream has secured key permits and approvals for the construction of LNG projects, under development in Louisiana and offshore in the Gulf of America.
On March 21, 2025, Delfin LNG, a subsidiary of Delfin, received a license from the Maritime Administration (MARAD) authorizing Delfin LNG to own, construct, operate, and eventually decommission a deepwater port, to export LNG from the United States.
The license was issued pursuant to the Deepwater Port Act of 1974 and MARAD’s 2017 Record of Decision and is in accordance with President Trump’s Executive Order titled, Unleashing American Energy, signed January 20, 2025.
The Delfin deepwater port project will be the first offshore LNG export project in the United States. The approval process involved MARAD and the U.S. Coast Guard working with approximately 15 cooperating federal agencies along with the States of Texas and Louisiana.
On March 10, 2025, the Department of Energy approved an LNG export permit extension for Delfin LNG, granting additional time to start exports from the project. The permit extension, which had been delayed under the prior administration, was announced by Secretary Wright in his opening remarks at CERAWeek in Houston.
