Celebrating Eight Years of LNG Supply from Sawgrass LNG to The Bahamas
Sawgrass LNG Celebrates Eight Years of LNG Supply to The Bahamas
On December 13, 2025, Sawgrass LNG & Power proudly marked a significant milestone: eight years of exporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) to the Commonwealth of The Bahamas. This momentous occasion highlights the successful partnership between the United States and The Bahamas in energy cooperation. Since the inaugural LNG shipment was made in December 2017, Sawgrass has completed thousands of safe and reliable deliveries to various clients across multiple Bahamian islands, ranging from industrial users to power generators.
American LNG Marketing LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sawgrass, is the only company to have transported LNG from the continental United States to The Bahamas.
In 2016, American LNG Marketing made history as the first exporter of LNG from the continental U.S. to a country that isn’t part of the Free Trade Agreement, beginning its journey by supplying LNG to Barbados. This achievement marked a new chapter in the U.S. commitment to energy support in the region, followed by the initial shipment to The Bahamas a year later.
Daniel McLaughlin, president and chief commercial officer of Sawgrass LNG Power, expressed pride in this ongoing partnership: "We are thrilled to commemorate eight years of association with the government of The Bahamas and our clients throughout the islands. This long-standing collaboration reflects our shared commitment to energy reliability, cleaner fuels, and regional resilience. It also emphasizes the critical role U.S. natural gas can play in supporting our Caribbean neighbors."
Sawgrass has aided industrial users and commercial operators in transitioning away from liquid fuels, thereby reducing emissions, enhancing efficiency, and bolstering energy security in one of the world’s most logistically challenging island environments.
This partnership continues to serve as a model for collaboration focused on clean, reliable, and modern energy solutions. McLaughlin further noted, "As countries in the region prioritize cleaner energy generation and more secure supply chains, we take pride in supporting those objectives with LNG produced in the United States. We look forward to expanding our relationship with The Bahamas as the government pursues additional LNG-powered energy generation and continues building a more resilient and low-emission energy future."
Sawgrass LNG & Power is committed to advancing modern energy infrastructure throughout the Caribbean, continuing to supply clean and reliable American natural gas to meet the evolving needs of the region.
