Arctic Directory: Crowley to fuel all Shell gas stations in Alaska

Crowley Maritime Corp. said Dec. 22 that its Alaska fuel sales and distribution enterprise has reached an agreement with Shell Oil Products US to add eight Shell-branded service stations in Anchorage and Eagle River to its wholesale network. Crowley will make wholesale purchases of Shell motor fuel and transport, distribute and sell the fuel to these independently owned and operated sites. With this addition, Crowley now serves dealers at all 17 Shell-branded service stations in Alaska, including three outlets owned and operated by Crowley. The agreement allows Shell and its dealers to leverage Crowley’s state-wide transportation and distribution capabilities to safely and reliably supply quality Shell motor fuel for consumers in Alaska. Shell stations are located in Anchorage, Eagle River, Kenai and the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. Crowley also agreed to a multiyear Wholesale Marketer Agreement with Shell, which means that Crowley will help protect the Shell brand by working with dealers on Shell marketing programs and ensuring they maintain stations and operations to the company’s high standards. “As the only wholesale representative for Shell currently in Alaska, we welcome the opportunity to add these stations to our dealer network,” said Bob Cox, vice president of Crowley’s business development in Anchorage.
