Coast Guard prioritizes oil delivery

BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – The U.S. Coast Guard is making sure nothing stops the flow of heating oil to our region.

Ahead of this winter, the Coast Guard in our area started its operation of reliable energy for northeast winter 2025.

The 33 million residents of the northeast use 85% of all U.S. heating oil according to the Coast Guard.

90% percent of that oil is delivered through waterways they monitor.

Now, the Coast Guard is adjusting its operations to focus resources, with the top priority of making sure the heating oil supply isn’t interrupted.
