New York/New Jersey Intra Harbor Petroleum Supplies Following Hurricane Sandy: Summary of Impacts through November 13, 2012, Independent Statistics & Analysis.

摘要

At 8:00 p.m. EDT October 29, 2012, the National Hurricane Center reported that Sandy made landfall near Atlantic City, New Jersey, as a post-tropical cyclone. The accompanying winds and flooding were devastating to many areas in the Northeast and damaged much of the energy infrastructure, including petroleum product supply and delivery systems around the NYH area. The NYH area is a major distribution hub for petroleum delivery to consumer markets in New England, New York, and New Jersey. The terminals in this area, with combined storage capacity of about 70 million barrels, receive product via pipeline from refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast , the Philadelphia area, and the two refineries located in northern New Jersey - the Phillips 66 Bayway (238,000 barrels per day) and the Hess Port Reading (70,000 barrels per day). The terminals also receive product via tanker and barge, much of it imported from outside the United States. Products from the terminals are then redistributed by barge and pipeline mainly to distribution terminals in New England, throughout the NYH area, up the Hudson River as far as Albany, and via pipeline to upstate New York. These distribution terminals also supply gasoline, heating oil, and diesel fuel to trucks for delivery to retail outlets and local distributors.
