Background

In December 2018 Enbridge, Kinder Morgan, and Oiltanking GmbH announced plans to build an $800 million oil export terminal offshore Freeport, Texas, and make it operational by late 2021 or early 2022. A permit application for the project was submitted to the Maritime Administration on Feb. 4, 2019, and is listed under Docket ID: MARAD-2019-0012. In March 2019 Kinder Morgan withdrew from the project and its share was purchased by Enbridge. In January 2020 Enbridge announced that it was withdrawing its application for COLT and would instead be focusing on its Sea Port Oil Terminal proposal.
