A Dallas-area midstream company has plans to add super tanker service to an export terminal it is building at the Port of Brownsville.
JupiterMLP LLC – which is leasing 240 acres at the port, with plans to build dozens of crude oil and refined product storage tanks with pipeline, rail, truck and tanker service — is seeking to add an offshore export terminal capable of servicing the largest ships in the world, the company announced.
Addison-based JupiterMLP has started engineering, permitting and design for a project known as the Jupiter Offshore Loading Terminal. It plans to build the export terminal 6 miles off the Texas coast, where it can service very large crude carrier, or VLCC, tankers.
Among the largest commercial ships in the world, VLCC tankers can move more than 2 million barrels of crude oil per load. Although the Port of Brownsville is planning to deepen its shipping channel from 42 feet to 52 feet, VLCC tankers ships require 82 feet of draft. As a result, they must be transloaded by smaller tankers in deeper water or serviced via pipelines at offshore terminals.
The offshore VLCC project will require permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and other agencies, Jupiter CEO Tom Ramsey told the Business Journal.

The company has obtained some permits for its onshore project at the Port of Brownsville, where it has been cleared to build storage tanks for 2.5 million barrels of crude oil and refined products. Ramsey said the company plans to develop a portion of that capacity soon.

McHales writings are disturbing. He seems to write about death arriving soon for him. As far as the Community is concerned, he needs to disturb another world. I'm sure the devil will not tolerate him disturbing his den. Sincerely, Mr. Concerned Community Member
I would like to see him kick a soccer ball on video.
BUILD IT ! FUCK YOU ANTI LNG ANTI JOBS FAGS.
When your ass can no longer decide when to shit and your nose is falling off and the hospital just handed you a bill of half a million dollars call the port and thank them for bringing LNG to this area PENDEJO...
Our noses are going to fall off? Oh my. Hahahaha. Ur one stupid fuck
To happy camper at 3:10
The LNG plant adds to the inventory of polluters that are in the air here. These facilities emit a kind of super plume of air pollution any increase is going in the wrong direction, this is where your nose becomes a factor, it might fall OFF.
The operation consist of: gas must be stripped of impurities until it's over 98% methane. Co2, H2S, other sulfur components, moisture, mercury, and particles are stripped via acid gas removal and disposal, gas dehydration, mercury removal, and particle filtration…. The emissions associated with these processes include CO, VOC, SOx, NOx, H2S, particulates, and many toxic organic compounds.
That's Carbon Monoxide, a poison everyone's familiar with, Volatile Organic Compounds, a smog-producing class of chemicals like Benzene and Toluene, many of which are also carcinogenic, Sulfur Dioxide, a respiratory irritant which also causes acid rain, Nitrogen Oxide, a smog-producing respiratory irritant, PM pollution that's been linked to everything from heart attacks to Parkinson's, Mercury, a notorious neurotoxin, and oh yes, Hydrogen Sulfide, or "sour gas," a highly toxic and flammable poison that causes pulmonary edema at low concentrations and death at high ones.
This is where your ass comes into play, it will have no decision as to when you want to take a crab, you just do it.
As far as hospital expense, go figure...
Your IQ came back negative.
After the helicopter crash, the blond pilot was asked what happened. She replied, "It was getting chilly in there, so I turned the fan off."
A blonde heard that accidents happen close to home so she moved!
Sounds like you...
I promised Juan I would be civil...
The Rio Hondo drawbrige might accomodate the Brownsville Navigation District continued expansion.
Wonder how the water from the Gulf could be moved into Rio Hondo and maybe get SpaceX type subsidies to make a Electrical Dam as well.
Nevermind, the Arroyo needs a turning basin to get ships in and out.
And the has too much distance involved to get that much water, unless a Hurricane could be ordered up
My apologies for this worthless plan.
Just bored.
Electrical Dam? enlighten us.
