The predicted tsunami wave that resulted from the earthquake in Chile landed on the island of Oahu over the week-end.
Tesoro's Kapolei refinery reported no damage from the wave and is in
the process of raising rates back to normal. Planned rates are expected
to be realized within the next 12 hours.
Terminal operations remain closed until all clear signals are received
from the government. Tesoro does not anticipate fuel shortages and
supplies should soon return to normal. Seven retail sites that were
closed due to potential water damage will also reopen upon receiving
the all clear message. Tesoro will continue its commitment to not
raise fuel prices during this time of recovery for the state of Hawaii.
