Tanker Market in Georgia

Tanker operations in the Southeast revolve around Gulf Coast refineries and the region's extensive chemical corridor. Liquid petroleum products move north from Louisiana and Mississippi refineries along I-55 and I-65. Florida's lack of in-state refineries creates constant tanker demand hauling fuel from Gulf Coast terminals, while Georgia and the Carolinas generate steady chemical freight from their manufacturing sectors.
