Why Delaware for Tanker Operations
The Northeast tanker market is anchored by petroleum distribution from refineries in Linden NJ, Marcus Hook PA, and the Baltimore area. Heating oil demand surges during winter months, creating seasonal rate spikes of 15-25%. Chemical transport from industrial facilities along the Delaware River adds year-round baseload. Hazmat endorsement and tanker experience requirements limit the carrier pool, supporting strong rates.
