A supertanker docked in Long Beach and delivered California’s last incoming shipment of Middle Eastern oil, according to WSJ reported. The supertanker docked in Long Beach on the same day it completed that final delivery.
California drivers are paying the nation’s highest fuel prices. The milestone arrives as the state shifts away from its historical reliance on Middle Eastern crude. The event represents the conclusion of decades during which California received regular tanker deliveries from the Middle East.
No further shipments of that origin are scheduled to arrive in the state.
