Ships use Valdez port
NZPA-Reuter Valdez, Alaska Ships resumed moving through the sound leading to the oil port of Valdez yesterday, steering clear of the Exxon Valdez, which spewed 240,000 barrels of crude oil into the pristine waterway when it ran aground five days ago. While efforts to clean up the biggest oil spill in North America continued, the United States Coast Guard decided to allow one tanker at a time to
move through unpolluted channels in Prince William Sound.
The Alaska Pipeline runs 1200 km from oil-rich northern Alaska to its southern terminus in Valdez. No crude has been loaded from the pipeline, which accounts for 24 per cent of United States domestic oil supply, since last Friday. The waterway was also reopened to fishing vessels and other commercial ships on condition they keep 1000 m from the Exxon Valdez ,
