Advancing the LNG Hub of the Americas
A US$3.5–5.0 billion privately financed LNG infrastructure platform establishing Jamaica as the Western Hemisphere's primary LNG aggregation, storage, and redistribution hub — channelling American-produced natural gas to 30+ Caribbean and Central American markets.
The United States does not need to own every strategic asset in the Caribbean. But it does need to ensure that critical infrastructure in its near abroad is built transparently, governed responsibly, and aligned with democratic partners. The LNG Hub of the Americas is designed to do exactly that — supporting American exports, strengthening Caribbean resilience, and keeping energy infrastructure in the region anchored to trusted partners.
Hanover Holdings Corporation is a strategic investment and energy infrastructure development firm headquartered across Washington, D.C., Hollywood, Florida, and Kingston, Jamaica. The firm was founded and actively operating by 2008, when Prime Minister Bruce Golding of Jamaica responded on official Jamaica House letterhead to Hanover Holdings' LNG infrastructure proposal — inviting a meeting to discuss LNG feasibility, volume thresholds, and long-term supply contracts.
Port Esquivel, St. Catherine, Jamaica. A deepwater port at the geographic center of the Caribbean Basin, 600 nautical miles from the U.S. Gulf Coast, adjacent to the Panama Canal corridor. The site identified by the Jamaican government for large-scale LNG infrastructure development since 2005.
"The Caribbean LNG thesis has been validated at institutional scale. The Hub builds what comes next — the regional aggregation and redistribution platform serving the wider Caribbean Basin that no operator has yet built."
— Godfrey Comrie, President, Hanover HoldingsThe LNG Hub of the Americas is supported by a team whose combined expertise spans Caribbean LNG development, maritime infrastructure, facility operations, energy trading, Jamaican legal counsel, and sovereign investment relationships across the Gulf Cooperation Council.
The LNG Hub of the Americas is advancing through active engagement with U.S. federal agencies, the Government of Jamaica, development finance institutions, and Gulf sovereign investors simultaneously.
Across the Caribbean and Atlantic approaches, there is growing concern about major infrastructure being built under opaque arrangements that raise questions about long-term control and governance. The LNG Hub of the Americas offers something different — a transparent, privately led, democratically anchored platform where critical energy infrastructure stays aligned with U.S. and allied partners, not captured by any foreign state.
This is not a request for a blank check. It is an invitation for the United States to use the tools it already has — commercial diplomacy, export credit, and disciplined development finance — to ensure that infrastructure in its near abroad reflects American values and standards.
This proposal did not emerge because the issue became fashionable. It endured because the underlying logic was sound: Jamaica occupies a strategically valuable position in the Caribbean, and a properly governed LNG platform there can serve both regional resilience and U.S. interests. What has changed is that geopolitical reality has caught up with the idea.
“The United States does not strengthen its position in the Caribbean through speeches alone. It strengthens its position by helping democratic partners build durable, transparent, high-standard infrastructure. This project deserves to be judged on that basis.”
— Godfrey Comrie, President, Hanover Holdings Corporation
