Alyeska brings health and safety message to Prince
William Sound
For the last 7 years, Alyeska has led an effort to bring
health and safety education to several remote communities in
Prince William Sound. The company’s 2007 Prince William
Sound (PWS) Traveling Health and Safety Fair brought a
collection of state health agencies and community health
care providers to the Sound. This is not your ordinary
Health Fair, its a traveling health and safety fair which
travels throughout remote Prince William Sound communities
upon the Krystal Sea and Cordova Provider, a integrated Tug
and Barge vessel owned by Bering Marine Services.
