Peterson partners with Port Cameron

International energy logistics provider Peterson signed a partnership agreement with Port Cameron, La., to develop a port and supply base near the Gulf of Mexico. The development at the port will include a 500-acre deep-water staging port serving the GoM. The private, land-based, deep water energy support complex has 750 additional acres available for future expansion. It is to be built on the Calcasieu Ship Channel, three miles from the GoM, 19 miles from the Intracoastal Canal, about 50 miles from I-10, and within 185 miles of Houston. Under the agreement, Peterson will have the option to lease up to 1.2 million square feet of space in Port Cameron Logistic Center and will also serve as port manager. Upon completion, Port Cameron will be the largest private energy services facility on the Gulf Coast. (Source: Maritime Executive 02/09/17)
