1996 – 500 Voyages ARCO Fairbanks decal

This decal celebrates the 500 Voyages to Valdez by the tanker, “Arco Fairbanks.”

The ARCO M/V Fairbanks was the first tanker to visit the Valdez Terminal, arriving before start-up to participate in a month of training exercises. The 883 foot long tanker made regular weekly 1,200 miles trips from Valdez, AK to Cherry Point, WA, even through the severe winter seas of the Gulf of Alaska.
