Fyldte tankskibe i kø ved Texas

Allerede den 28. august var 22 tankskibe strandet ud for kysten i Texas, da de ikke kan komme af med deres last på grund af havnelukninger efter orkanen Harvey, ifølge USAs Department of Energy. Tankskibene siges at have omkring 15,3 millioner tønder importeret råolie ombord.

Corpus Christi Havn forbliver lukket, men USA's Coast Guard har udstedt tilladelse til, at fartøjer med dybgang på maksimalt 20 fod kan anløbe den indre havn. Havneindsejlingen er blokeret af et grundstødt boreskib, der ejes af Paragon Offshore. Man forbereder fjernelse af fartøjet, der strandede under orkanen Harvey.

Havnemyndigheden sagde, at der arbejdes på at fremskynde hydrografiske undersøgelser af Corpus Christi-skibskanalen.

Havnemyndigheden forventer at genoprette normal forretningsvirksomhed inden 4. september.

Havnene i Freeport, Galveston, Houston og Texas City

er stadig lukkede, men forbereder sig på snart at kunne

modtage skibe. Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (LOOP) faciliteter har rapporteret, at operationerne atter er normale.

Seks raffinaderier i Corpus Christi-området, syv i Houston / Galveston-området og to i Beaumont / Port Arthur-området er blevet lukket ned på grund af orkanen. Fem raffinaderier i Gulf Coast-regionen opererer med nedsat kapacitet ifølge Department of Energy’s seneste opdatering.

Samtidig menes omkring 40 tankskibe at være ved at blive lastet eller allerede på vej mod amerikanske havne, for at dække behovet for brændstof.
