Cenovus oil shipment leaves West Coast bound for eastern refineries — via Panama Canal
Quote:
Irving Oil's application included a proposal for the tankers to transport oil from a terminal in Burnaby, B.C., through the Panama Canal and on to Irving Oil's refinery in Saint John.
The company said at the beginning of May that it wanted to increase the mix of Canadian crude it uses, which at that time was in the range of 20 per cent.
Increasing the amount of Canadian oil that the refinery uses would displace the crude imports the company gets from around the world, but it wasn't clear which shipments might be affected.
An official with the refinery said at the time that it uses a "significant" amount of oil from the United States.
