GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — The company that recently halted development of a liquefied natural gas port near the mouth of the Columbia River in Oregon has filed for liquidation.

NorthernStar Natural Gas Inc. and its subsidiaries filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy Tuesday in Houston.

Company spokesman Joe Desmond said Wednesday that he could not comment on the filings.

In a statement on halting the Bradwood Landing project, NorthernStar President Paul Soanes blamed permit delays.

The company launched the project six years ago, hoping it would be the first deep-water port to receive liquefied natural gas tankers on the West Coast.

NorthernStar also was working on an offshore site at Oxnard, Calif., but California recently terminated the company’s application citing a lack of activity.
