Background
The Antigua LNG terminal is a small import terminal designed to receive and regasify LNG for use in a 46 MW power plant equipped with dual-fuel Wärtsilä engines and operated by Antigua Power on the Crabbs Peninsula in Antigua.[21][22] The gas-to-power project was announced in 2021 as a joint venture between US-based Eagle LNG Partners and Antigua Power Co Ltd.[23][24] Gas for the project was to be shipped from Eagle LNG's facilities in Jacksonville, Florida.[21][23][25]
As of July 2023, capacity details and commissioning timeline for the LNG terminal remained sketchy, but the power plant was expected to begin commercial operations in the second half of 2023.[26][22][27]
In August 2023, four 1000m3 storage tanks associated with the new LNG terminal arrived on the island.[28] Test operations at the power plant were underway in November 2023, with diesel serving an interim fuel until the anticipated start-up of the LNG terminal in early 2024.[29]
A June 2024 news report indicated that the terminal was still awaiting commissioning "later in the year."[30] As of September 2024, the website of project owner Caribbean LNG simply stated that "construction continues apace on (the) new... LNG terminal."[31]
Construction of the terminal was reportedly complete as of mid-2025.[32] However, commissioning appeared to be further delayed, based on media reports of issues with "dredging operations at Crabbes and St. John’s Harbour" deemed necessary to allow the access of LNG vessels to the terminal.[33][34][35]
Harbour dredging work was reported to be roughly 98 percent finished by March 2026.[36] In early July 2026 the Antiguan government said the first LNG shipment would arrive within 30 days[37], but as of mid-August 2026 there had been no confirmation that operations had started.
The International Gas Union's 2026 World LNG Report lists the terminal's receiving capacity at 0.0001 mtpa, a figure that appears implausibly low.[38]
