Pipeline 101
Mobile Command Post

Alyeska Pipeline Service Company continuously maintains oil spill contingency plans and equipment and trains prevention and response crews for incidents along the entire 800-mile-long trans-Alaska pipeline corridor and in Prince William Sound. Incident response can be directed from Alyeska’s Mobile Command Post (MCP), a 53-foot-long step-deck trailer that provides more than 600 square feet of office space with self-contained power, heat and air conditioning. The MCP has state-of-the-art communications equipment and can be rapidly deployed to drill or incident sites almost anywhere along the pipeline or at the Valdez Marine Terminal.
