New trailer could boost size of LNG deliveries to Fairbanks
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A state agency will evaluate a new semi-truck trailer that could carry larger loads of liquefied natural gas from a plant at Point MacKenzie to Fairbanks.
Western Cascade Trucking Equipment in Tukwila, Washington, helped design the five-axle trailer that can carry up to 13,000 gallons of LNG, the most allowed by Alaska law, at 265 degrees below zero.
The Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority will review the trailer's performance for a possible role in the Interior Energy Project.
