The Maritime Administration (MARAD) and U.S. Coast Guard have released a Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Blue Marlin Offshore Port (BMOP) deepwater port license application submitted by Blue Marlin Offshore Port LLC. The project proposes construction, ownership, operation, and eventual decommissioning of an offshore oil export terminal located approximately 99 statute miles off the coast of Cameron Parish, Louisiana, in West Cameron Lease Blocks 508 and 509 and East Cameron Block 263, at roughly 162 feet of water depth. The facility would load Very Large Crude Carriers via two Catenary Anchor Leg Mooring buoys at up to 80,000 barrels per hour. Public meetings are scheduled for March 11 and 12, 2025; comments are due 45 days after the February 21, 2025 Federal Register publication.12
