Tanker Market in Maryland

Tanker driving in the Northeast centers on fuel distribution from major terminals along the I-95 corridor and New York Harbor. The region's dense population requires enormous volumes of heating oil (especially in New England winters), gasoline, and jet fuel for JFK, Newark, and Logan airports. Chemical transport from New Jersey's industrial corridor — home to dozens of chemical manufacturers — adds year-round tanker demand.
