Shipping industry names who knew NextDecade founder and LNG regasification innovator Kathleen Eisbrenner have been remembering and detailing her contribution to the business following the news of her death last week.

Eisbrenner’s family said in an obituary that the 58-year-old had died on 9 May after suffering a “devastating head injury” from a fall in her home.

Those in the industry who met Eisbrenner in the past few weeks have spoken of her looking frail and weak, but were shocked to learn of her sudden death.
