Sea and sky sandwiched a manmade hue of blue Wednesday at Port of Anacortes Pier 2, where Hong Kong based “Koombana Bay” is berthed to take on a load of petroleum coke. According to POA Director of Operations John Hachey, the vessel boasts: Russian officers; Philippine crew; Australian ship name; Hong Kong flag and ownership (Pacific Basin Inc.); Dutch owned cargo (Shell); product made in the USA (Shell Puget Sound Refinery); sold to an Australian Company (Rio Tinto); for use in a Canadian aluminum smelter (Rio Tinto, Quebec). Each year about 250,000 tons of “pet coke” are shipped out of Anacortes. This vessel is taking on 18,000 metric tons.
