LOOP (Louisiana Offshore Oil Port Inc. ) startup slated for late 1980
Pelican Terminal Corp. is planning a $350 million project that calls for dredging a 56 ft deep channel outside the Galveston jetties, Tex., and a 54 ft deep channel inside the jetties; two 36 in. crude oil lines that would connect dockside facilities to a 12 million bbl tank farm at Texas City; and three 30 in. lines that would run from Texas City to the Beaumont/Port Arthur, Houston/Baytown, and Freeport areas. According to L. Rockwood, project manager, approx. 70% of a typical 250,000 dwt tanker's crude oil cargo could be delivered at the planned terminal, and the other 30% could be delivered to the LOOP terminal or a Carribbean transshipment terminal or could be lightered offshore. Rockwood does not see any conflict with the LOOP project and expects a dredging and pipeline permit decision in Sept. 1979. Other deepwater port projects, including construction progress on the LOOP project the Texas Deepwater Port Authority project, and the Nueces County Navigation District's Deeport project, are discussed.
