Background

Everett Marine is the longest operating import terminal in the U.S. The terminal is owned and operated by Distrigas of Massachusetts (DOMAC), a subsidiary of GDF Suez North America. As of 2013, the terminal supplied about 20% of New England’s natural gas demand every year. The tanks at Everett Marine Terminal can store enough liquefied natural gas to both heat and light the state of Massachusetts for one day.

In December 2022, Politico Pro reported that the potential closure of the facility in 2024, due to economic factors, could threaten New England's energy security.

In July 2024, it was reported that the facility would remain open through 2030 after gas supply deals were signed with three New England utilities and approved by Massachusetts authorities.
