Developer McMoRan Exploration says it anticipates that the U.S. Coast Guard and Maritime Administration will announce a decision in June regarding the proposed Main Pass Energy Hub LNG terminal offshore Louisiana. This follows the release of the final environmental impact statement for the proposed 1.8 Bcf/d facility. Under the Deepwater Ports Act, as the governor of the adjacent coastal state, Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco has until May 7 to either endorse, modify or veto the proposal. Details are available in yesterday’s Platts LNG Daily. [Subscription required]
