Crowley Marine to enter Bethel fuel market

by The Associated Press

Crowley Marine Services Inc. will enter the Bethel fuel market next year after completing agreements with Bethel Native Corp. for construction of a bulk-fuel tank farm. The two companies said in mid-July that Crowley will build and run the tank farm on land leased from Bethel Native Corp.

The Bethel tank farm should open by September 2002, the companies said.

Crowley has operated in Alaska since 1953.
