SeaRiver Maritime is a privately held subsidiary wholly owned by ExxonMobil. The company was formed in the early 1990s by Exxon when it spun off its maritime operations into the new company following the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989.[1]
The company currently operates three tankers engaged in the Alaska-West Coast crude oil trade. In July 2011, the company ordered two new crude oil tankers to be built at Aker Philadelphia Shipyard, due to be delivered in 2014, which will replace two existing vessels. According to Business Wire's news release at the announcement, "All cargo and fuel compartments will be equipped with double hull protection. Both vessels will feature the latest in navigation and communications equipment. Main engine and auxiliary systems will be energy efficient and generate lower air emissions than what is required by current regulatory standards.
“Today’s announcement is consistent with our long-term ongoing commitment to safe and reliable marine transportation in the United States and throughout the world,” said Will Jenkins, president of SeaRiver. “These new vessels will provide jobs for American shipyard workers and help support energy needs along the U.S. West Coast for decades to come.” [2]
In 2012, SeaRiver Maritime Inc was awarded the prestigious British Safety Council International Safety Award with distinction.
