LOOP LLC seeks partners

LOOP LLC (Louisiana Offshore Oil Port), is searching for partners to use its facilities for crude oil vessel loading services onto Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs).

The new service would provide connecting logistics from LOOP’s Clovelly Hub in Galliano, La., to its deep-water port, 17 miles offshore of Port Fourchon, La. The proposal uses the existing configuration of the port with minor modifications to operate bi-directionally. Currently, LOOP’s deep-water port has the capacity and capability to offload these same vessels and moving crude oil from the port to the Hub.

LOOP President, Tom Shaw said: “Since 1981, LOOP has safely offloaded more than 10 billion barrels of crude oil. Today, customers are seeking the optionality to safely and efficiently load or offload, which is a natural request for a port. This service offers our customers the scalability to fully load a VLCC.

“We have consistently improved our processes and performance over the decades since our founding, and we are eager to expand our offerings to meet our customers’ needs as the U.S. energy market evolves.”
