In an effort to counter claims that LNG tankers cannot safely transit Head Harbour Passage, a pilot from Perry, Maine has extended an invitation to Canadian officials to “see the passage from the bridge of a ship.” Jerry Morrison of Eastport Pilots USA says that the channel is wide and deep enough to accommodate large vessels, and that his pilot group can safely pilot LNG vessels through the passage. The letter may be found in the FERC e-Library in the Quoddy Bay and Downeast LNG Dockets, Nos. PF06-11 and PF06-13, respectively.
