Neptune LNG Deepwater Port Project Receives License From MarAd

SUEZ Energy North America's subsidiary, Neptune LNG LLC, announced today that the Neptune offshore LNG facility has received its Deepwater Port License. Neptune is the first offshore LNG project on the United States' East Coast to reach this milestone.
