Operations are based in Dutch Harbor, Kodiak, and Valdez, supplying fuel and lubricant products to military, commercial, fishing, business, and residential customers. As part of Petro Star, fuel supply and distribution are supported by an Alaska‑based refining and logistics network. Operations focus on safe handling, reliable delivery, and customer service.
Operating History
North Pacific Fuel was established as part of the Petro Star organization in 1997, combining several existing fuel facilities in Dutch Harbor, Kodiak, and Valdez. These included marine fueling location in Dutch Harbor, Kodiak Oil Sales, and a heating oil distributor in Valdez. These operations were consolidated into a single organization to support a steady supply of product while maintaining established local business activity. North Pacific Fuel continues to operate these locations with support from the Petro Star supply network.
