Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. maintains a state of readiness when it comes to cyberthreats.
Just like any other operating risk of running the 800-mile Trans Alaska Pipeline System, cyber risk is on the front burner 24/7 at Alyeska, according to Michelle Egan, Alyeska chief communications officer.
We have a very comprehensive cybersecurity program here - it involves multiple layers of protection; we have an in-house cybersecurity team; we have a number of third-party experts and vendors that we work with; and we have very regular engagement with law enforcement agencies around this area - so that were aware of what is happening in the world of cyber security, Egan told Petroleum News in a May 11 interview.
Print article An unladen oil tanker that’s part of a growing number of foreign-flagged vessels transporting Alaska crude reportedly dragged its anchor for approximately 30 hours in rough Gulf of Alaska seas while waiting for an escort to Valdez in mid-April. The mishap ultimately resulted in a damaged windlass, or anchor winch, aboard the Bermuda-flagged tanker Stena Suede but little else, according to collated reports. However, it was enough to raise concerns from the federally mandated public oversight group tasked with oil industry activity in Prince William Sound as well as the group of marine pilots that escort large vessels through Southcentral Alaska’s often shallow, tricky nearshore waters.
