Seaside LNG, North America’s premier integrated LNG bunkering platform, today announced the appointment of a newly formed leadership team to guide the company’s next chapter of growth. As the only platform in North America to offer integrated onshore liquefaction, LNG storage and Jones Act-compliant bunkering capabilities under one roof, Seaside LNG is uniquely designed to meet the industry’s rapidly growing demand for clean marine fuels.
The new leadership team represents a combined century of specialized experience covering LNG liquefaction and regasification, offshore infrastructure, commercial strategy and energy finance – the depth needed to lead North America’s premier LNG bunkering company as the market accelerates toward an industry expected to be worth more than $15 billion by 2030.
“This is a defining moment for Seaside LNG and for North American offshore energy. We have built the infrastructure, assembled the fleet, and now we have a leadership team that matches our ambition to grow our existing platform. With demand for LNG across the shipping industry reaching historic levels, Seaside is the only fully integrated platform on the continent capable of delivering LNG from liquefaction to ships – safely, reliably, at scale and on schedule.” — Douglas Shanda, CEO, Seaside LNG
