Our Project
|
Calais LNG is proposing to construct and operate a Liquefied Natural
Gas (LNG)
receiving terminal and storage facility on the outskirts of Calais, Maine.
Our 330-acre |
 |
site is located approximately seven miles south of downtown Calais
and features 2,800 feet of shoreline along the deepwater banks of the St. Croix River.(Click here for a detailed map)
Our proposed site is considered the best LNG site in the Northeastern United States
because
of several factors, including its close |
|
proximity (approximately 20.7 miles)
to the existing
Maritimes & Northeast pipeline, the |
topography of the land which
prevents visibility from Route One, its proximity to an industrial facility across
the river in New Brunswick and the relatively minimal length of its pier.
|
The Calais LNG facility will feature: |
- A pier with berthing for one LNG vessel
- Two 160,000-cubic-meter, full-containment LNG storage tanks, with potential expansion
for a third tank;
- LNG receiving facility;
- Send-out plant & ancillary features;
- A 20.7-mile pipeline connecting the facility to the Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline.
|
 |
Our project is estimated to support an average of 290 construction jobs over a period
of four years and between 70 and 80 permanent operations and maintenance jobs.
Calais LNG has secured the financial support of
Goldman Sachs
as a key investor and put together a group of highly experienced industry and regional
experts who are all dedicated to bringing Maine a state-of-the-art LNG facility
that will provide a reliable, safe source of energy. |
