Alaskan oil to be shipped to East Coast in tanker routes
Alaskan crude would be carried by tanker on a 10 000 mile voyage through the Panama Canal to the Gulf of Mexico for about two years. Half the oil would unload at Louisiana and Texas ports with some heading to New Jersey. West Coast refineries cannot absorb the volume, raising costs and relying on distant distribution. Major owners are Standard Oil of Ohio, Exxon, and ARCO, with ARCO closest to west coast handling.
