Woodside Energy has awarded a services contract to Green Tug Towing for the design and construction of four new tugs to be built at C&C Marine and Repair in Plaquemines Parish and delivered to Louisiana LNG in 2028, reports Biz New Orleans. With the $300-million award, Woodside and its contractors have now committed more than $1 billion to Louisiana suppliers for the foundational development of the Louisiana LNG project.
The investment will include significant upgrades to the warehouse, including the installation of a quality assurance room, new bathrooms and offices. Additionally, SGC will replace interior walls, run new wiring and add lighting. For the exterior, the company will add four shipping docks, resurface the driveway and shipping area, and replace some of the building’s exterior.
The tugs will provide towing services for LNG tankers at the Louisiana LNG terminal over a 20-year term. Green Tug Towing will manage construction of the vessels in Belle Chasse and operate a tug facility in Lake Charles to support ongoing operations. Construction is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026. Read more from Biz New Orleans.
