The Cherry Point Refinery (owned by BP),
The Andeavor Anacortes Refinery

The Puget Sound Pipeline currently has a capacity of 170,000 barrels per day (bpd), but in the documents filed for its IPO in May 2017,
Kinder Morgan indicated that they want to significantly increase that amount, according to
Sven Biggs of Stand. Earth's Bellingham, Washington office.

But instead of urging that the Trudeau government stop this controversial purchase,
Gunton stated this: “Ironically,
Their purchase of the pipeline may provide them with one last chance for changing course.
This would avoid tanker exports from Vancouver,

But instead of ending at the Vancouver terminus,
It would follow the existing secondary route from Sumas, B.C. into Washington state,

Of diluted bitumen amid concerns about spills.'
Burrard Inlet is an Aframax class ship at 80 per cent capacity
Carrying 550,000 barrels,
Only about one-quarter the load of a VLCC.
They can carry two million barrels at a time
They carry up to 4 million barrels of oil.
Refiner in Asia would have to book and pay for four to eight tankers
Where would that leave Canadian interests?
Well, Canadian oil would still be held ransom to a single, monopsony buyer at a discounted price;
Every planned drop of oil will still be produced;
Whatever risk there is to the Pacific Coast would simply be moved 60 miles south and put under American control;
Those refineries are currently supplied by oil shipped down from the Alaska North Slope fields by boats that regularly transit B.C. waters.
Production from that field is expected to decline by more than 150,000 barrels per day between now and 2026.
Oil tankers have been departing the Westridge marine terminal in Vancouver weekly since 1956.
Additionally, bulk tankers come from Alaska, down the west coast of Vancouver Island, through the Juan de Fuca strait, past Victoria and into oil refineries in
Cherry Point and Anacortes in Washington state
