By the way, I think that the LNG tankers were built at Northrop Grumman Ship Systems-Avondale Operations, only because I know that the ship yard is in Avondale. The tankers are being used elsewhere, now.

Also, BP has made a deal with the enviro freaks to give up the main shipping route that supplies the Puget Sound in return for dropping the law suit against them for not complying with environmental requirements before building their new dock. BP, of course doesn't own any shipping companies, so this is really not theirs to give up. It would mean using much longer and more hazardous routes and cost shipping companies a lot of time, aggravation, and money. The pilots association also opposes the move, but of course BP doesn't care.
