VLCC At Corpus Christi -- Successfully Tested -- OXY -- May 29, 2017
This is pretty incredible. Earlier a reader sent me a link to a story reporting that this historic event had been delayed 24 hours due to a local thunderstorm.Apparently, things are back on schedule. New link to a new story. Data points:
- supertankers tested at Port Corpus Christi, TX
 - mammoth tanker docking Friday at Port Corpus Christi, historic and successful
 - 1,093-foot-long EuroNav tanker: Anne
 - docked at Oxy's crude oil export facility
 - classified as a Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC)
 - Belgian-owned ship: largest crude oil tanker to call on a Gulf of Mexico port
 - will boost crude oil exports from Texas
 - when fully loaded: the bottom of the hull -- 66 feet down
 - unfortunately, Corpus Christi Ship Channel is only 45 feet deep
 - so, they partially load the tanker dockside and then finish the loading in deeper waters usng using a smaller ship and ship-to-ship transfer
 - will fill up to 60% capacity dockside
 - tanker at 100% capacity will hold 2.2 million bbls of crude oil for European and Asian markets
 - Port of Corpus Christi plans to deepen its channel; build a higher harbor bridge to accommodate larger vessels
