Moving tankers – Alpine Loyalty moves the last of the crude.

The products tanker Indian point completed discharging refined product at the Imperial Oil terminal, and proceeded to anchor.

 The crude carrier Alpine Loyalty arrived from the outer anchorage to load unrefined crude and take it to another Canadian refinery. She had been in the outer anchorages waiting for a Coasting trade license to move 120,000 barrels of unrefined crude to another refinery – either in St Johns, or Via Pipeline from Portland Maine to refineries in Ontario and Quebec. This Crude is presumably the remaining unrefined oil after the plant shutdown.

Update: 10/10/13 Alpine loyalty sailed at 1500, giving PAULSBORO USA as her destination

Imperial oil shutdown now to get rid of the unrefined crude

The tanker alpine loyalty is currently at anchor in the approaches. A coasting licence has been applied for her. The ship will be used to transport approximately 120,000 barrels of crude oil, in one voyage, from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Canaport, Saint John, New Brunswick and/or Portland, Maine, United States of America via pipeline to Montreal, Quebec and/or refineries in Quebec, and/or refineries in Ontario.

 
Looks like despite the shutdown there is still a lot of unrefined product in halifax
