Imperial Oil brings in product from its own refineries in Nanticoke and Sarnia, but also from farther afield, often from Antwerp, but only rarely from parent company ExxonMobil Corp's sources in the United States. On Tuesday, May 14, the Dartmouth terminal did receive a ship loaded with product from Houston where ExxonMobil is based and has its Baytown refinery (actually 25 miles from the City of Houston on the shores of the Houston Ship Channel.)
