It won the Distinguished Award for its sustained achievement of zero injuries, zero vehicle accidents, and zero spills in each of the previous three years, as well as its set of initiatives, management systems, and actions taken to accomplish this.

Environmental Performance Awards went to CITGO Pipeline Company, Equistar Chemicals, LP – Equistar Pipelines, Genesis Energy, Inc., Portland Pipe Line Corporation and Marathon Pipeline LLC.

Occupational Safety Performance Awards went to the Portland Pipe Line Corporation and Koch Pipeline Company, LP.
