LOOKS LIKE THE "PRINCE'S" DAYS ARE NUMBERED??
DH TANKER FOR SCRAP? Reliable sources report that Alaska Tankers,
operator of US-flag tankers for BP, will shortly return the "Prince
William Sound" to Keystone. In the absence of any other need for a
Jones Act crude carrier, the ship will presumably be scrapped.
"Prince William Sound" is the oldest of the three "Ecology"-class
double-hull tankers built by Sun Ship in the 1970s, with the foresight
that Sun had in those days. The other two now work for ExxonMobil.
