... Steven Hillyard Manager, Government and Public Affairs Division Chevron Shipping Company 555 Market Street San Francisco, California 94105-2870 Dear Mr. Hillyard: Thank you for providing us with a comprehensive briefing concerning the "Pacific Ocean Lightering Plan" earlier this month.
From page 115...
... We are prepared to work with Chevron Shipping to attain our mutual goal of continued smooth, safe transfers. If lightering becomes standard practice, it is our understanding that the Middle East crude oil that is imported to southern California waters would be a substitute for Alaska North Slope crude oil which would otherwise be shipped in coastwise transits to the final destination terminals in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
From page 116...
... In the event that this operation matures into a routine practice in the years ahead, we would like to be provided with an operation manual, or operation plan for the lightering operation with written procedures in place stating under what conditions transfer operations will be suspended, weather, sea state, etc. We are sensitive to the proprietary nature of this information and of course would treat it accordingly.
