3 Vessels Cleared in Oil Spill at Port

From Times Staff and Wire Reports

Tanker operations returned to normal after three vessels docked at the trans-Alaska pipeline’s Valdez marine terminal were cleared of blame for a mysterious oil slick found at the port, officials in Anchorage said. Most of the floating oil had dissipated or been collected by cleanup crews, the operator of the trans-Alaska pipeline, Alyeska Pipeline Service Co., said. Examinations by divers and others revealed no cracks or holes in the hulls of the oil tankers.
