Safety of oil tankers in PWS up for discussion

A proposed resolution regarding safe crude oil tanker operation, in relation to the marine services transition, is one of several items up for discussion Jan. 18-19 before the Prince William Sound Regional Citizens’ Advisory Council meeting in Anchorage.

The tentative agenda for the meeting at the Embassy Suites is posted on the council’s website, www.pwsrcac.org, with an advisory that it is subject to change before or during the meeting.

The meeting is open to the public, except for executive sessions, and public comment is tentatively scheduled to begin at 8:55 a.m. on Jan. 18.

Also on the agenda are presentations by Alyeska Pipeline Service Co., the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation and the council regarding the change in Alyeska’s marine services contract provider from Crowley Marine Services to Edison Chouest Offshore.

That transition is slated to take place on July 1.
