Loop: The First and Only Offshore Deepwater Oil Port Built in the United States (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425906436)

This story of LOOP INC. is my opportunity to reveal the background of planning, permitting, and construction of the first and only offshore crude oil unloading deepwater port in the United States. As the first President of LOOP INC., Mr. Read was personally involved as the responsible spokesman for all phases of many interesting activities. From preliminary design engineering to passing legislation in the United States Congress and the State of Louisiana and through construction into operations was a real challenge. The port has been unloading crude oil tankers successfully for nearly twenty five years without a major mishap. It was front page news while trying to get permission to build and operate the port but, since start up, have been proceeding quietly with business as usual and is now looking forward to additional opportunities.
