LNG has been provided to The Bahamas through Sawgrass' wholly owned subsidiary, American LNG Marketing LLC, the only company to have ever delivered LNG from the US to The Bahamas. American LNG Marketing made history in 2016 as the first exporter of LNG from the continental US to a non–free trade agreement country, beginning with deliveries to Barbados. This historic achievement marked a new chapter in American energy engagement in the region and was followed one year later by the first LNG shipment to The Bahamas.
“We are proud to celebrate eight years of partnership with the Bahamian Government and our customers throughout The Bahamas," said Daniel McLaughlin, President & Chief Commercial Officer of Sawgrass LNG & Power. "This long-standing collaboration reflects our shared commitment to energy reliability, cleaner fuels, and regional resilience. It also showcases the critical role that US natural gas can play in supporting our Caribbean neighbours.”
Sawgrass has helped industrial users and commercial operators transition away from liquid fuels, reducing emissions, improving efficiency, and strengthening energy security in one of the world's most logistically complex island environments. The partnership continues to serve as a model of cooperation focused on clean, reliable, and modern energy.
“As countries across the region prioritise cleaner power generation and more secure supply chains, we are proud to support those goals with American-produced LNG,” McLaughlin added. “We are excited to expand our relationship with The Bahamas as the government advances additional LNG-fuelled power generation and continues building a more resilient, lower-emission energy future.”
