Exxon Valdez was the original name of an oil tanker owned by the Exxon oil company. The ship was renamed to SeaRiver Mediterranean after the March 24, 1989 oil spill in which the tanker hit Prince William Sound's Bligh Reef; this was the Exxon Valdez oil spill.
The vessel has an all steel construction, built by National Steel and Shipbuilding Company in San Diego. It was delivered to Exxon in December, 1986. The tanker is 300 m (987 ft) long, 50 m (166 ft) wide and 27 m (88 ft) in depth, weighing 30,000 tons empty and powered by a 31,650 s.h.p. diesel engine. The vessel could transport a maximum of 1.48 million barrels at a sustained speed of 16.25 knots and was employed to transport crude oil from the Alyeska consortium's pipeline terminal in Valdez, Alaska to the lower 48 states of the United States.
