Shoreside Petroleum Cordova - Fuel Terminal in Cordova, Alaska

Shoreside Petroleum Cordova is a fuel terminal situated at 100 Ocean Dock Rd in Cordova, Alaska, United States. The facility is operational and serves as a critical node for fuel storage and distribution in the Valdez Cordova County area. As a fuel terminal, it handles petroleum products, supporting local industrial, commercial, and residential energy needs. The facility operates under U.S. regulatory frameworks including EPA Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations and Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules. These regulations mandate secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response planning to mitigate environmental risks. The terminal's location in a coastal Alaskan environment requires adherence to additional state and federal environmental protections. Shoreside Petroleum Cordova plays a vital role in the energy infrastructure of south-central Alaska, providing fuel for fishing fleets, transportation, and community heating. Its coastal location facilitates marine fuel deliveries, supporting the local economy and ensuring energy security for a region with limited road access.

The terminal is located on the coast of Cordova, Alaska, in a region characterized by sensitive marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Proximity to Prince William Sound raises considerations for spill prevention and secondary containment. The facility's operations involve storage of petroleum products, which under U.S. regulations require robust containment systems and spill response plans to protect local waterways and wildlife.
