The sandstorm is about air traffic, not sea going vessels.

...“There was no interruption to company export operations” since the bad weather struck on March 1, the state producer, known as Saudi Aramco, said today in an e-mailed statement. Aramco operates six ports and terminals independently of the government, with two of them -- Ju’aymah and Ras Tanura -- on the kingdom’s Gulf coast, according to the company’s website....
Refining capacities are being expanded, so prices of oil should be going down, not up!
...Two contracts were signed for King Fahd Industrial Port (click here) in Yanbu where a new wharf will be constructed at a cost of SR129 million for Yasref refining company to export petroleum products. China Harbor Engineering Co. won the contract....
The largest commercial ship ever (click here) to visit the Port of Pensacola arrived late Monday to undergo maintenance for eight to 10 days.
The 56,000-ton Eagle Sydney, a 750-foot-long, 142-foot-wide tanker, shuttles crude oil on the Gulf of Mexico from ships to ports and from ship to ship.
"It's going to be a sight to see," said Buddy McCormick, director of business development for Offshore Inland, a Mobile-based company that will be doing the maintenance work with help from subcontractors and the ship's crew. "It's going to be at the Commendencia Slip, and it's going to be so wide that when the guys are fishing over there, they can probably hit it with their lures."...
The Keystone Pipeline is a political issue for the Right. It will never result in cheaper gasoline prices at the pump. I think the politicking of Bob Turner is indicative to the hype surrounding this project. Let's face it, the gasoline will never make it to USA pumps, it will be shipped to the highest bidder anywhere in the world. This project is about the wealth of a billionaire and not about safety and OBEYING the law.

Turner Relentless on Keystone Pipeline (click here)

Congressman Bob Turner’s Senate campaign is sure the Keystone XL oil pipeline is a winner.
In addition to hosting their first public event at a gas station and previously pumping the gas price issue, they’ve been repeatedly pushing the issue in the last fourteen hours alone....
Turner won the Congressional seat resigned by Anthony Weiner. That seat is closed out after the most recent census. So, Turner wants to be Senator now after a political career of less than a year. New York is lucky, it seems all it has to worry about is gas prices. It appears the #Occupy Wall Street movement is not making an impression on Rep. Turner. Oh, well. No surprise there, he is a Republican after all.
