Shell's Alaska Drilling Plans Challenged in Seattle

摘要

Royal Dutch Shell is encountering opposition to its plans to establish a base in Seattle that would support exploration drilling in Arctic waters off the northern coast of Alaska. The Port of Seattle recently approved a two - year lease with Foss Maritime for a 50 - acre site. Shell is a client of Foss Maritime and plans to use the site as a staging area for drilling and support vessels that would be deployed in the Chukchi Sea later this year.
