sure if all BR/NO refineries have access to it/use it...
Most do. The loop allows larger ships to discharge crude, ones that are too large and with too much DWT. Most crude ships that come up the river are around 800ft. and have an onboard total of around 500K bbl. Funny thing about the ship that couldn't make it under the bridge Sunday, they have had 4-5 other ships make it under that same bridge...

Some refineries run off a mix of ship and pipeline and without the ship, they don't have enough to run high rates and may decide to shutdown. Plus some of the docks used to ship out product are unusable so they may b getting to where they can't make anymore because they have nowhere to put it.
