Additionally, on 24 April, the US Coast Guard issued a 'Letter of Recommendation' to the FERC confirming the suitability of the Coos Bay navigation channel to handle liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessels destined for the Jordan Cove LNG terminal. The proposed Jordan Cove Energy Project is a state-of-the-art LNG import terminal to be located in the port of Coos Bay in Oregon. When built, the facility will be capable of receiving LNG supplies, storing the natural gas in liquid form, and then warming the LNG to the gas phase to allow its delivery through interconnecting pipelines to the Pacific Northwest and adjacent markets. The Pacific Connector pipeline project is a proposed 374-km long, 36-in diameter, pipeline designed to transport up to 1bn cuft/d of gas from the Jordan Cove LNG terminal to markets in the region. The project includes interconnects to Williams' majority-owned Northwest pipeline near Myrtle Creek, Oregon, Avista Corporation's distribution system near Shady Cove, Oregon, as well as Pacific Gas and Electric Co's gas transmission system, Tuscarora Gas Transmission's system, and Gas Transmission Northwest's system, all located near Malin, Oregon. Jordan Cove Energy Project is a limited partnership between Fort Chicago LNG II US, a subsidiary of Fort Chicago Energy Partners, and Energy Projects Development. Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline is a limited partnership between Williams Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline, PG&E Strategic Capital, and Fort Chicago LNG II US.
