Delta Western was formed in 1984 to provide fuel for ships, planes and vehicles along the Western Alaska coast line and Yukon River with a fueling station in Dutch Harbor.  It was acquired into the Saltchuk family of companies in 2000, marking Saltchuk’s entry into petroleum distribution. Today, Delta Western is one of Alaska’s leading independent distributors of petroleum products and lubricants, with fuel terminals in Western and Southeast Alaska and a methanol terminal in Anchorage.  Delta Western delivers an average of 200 million gallons of fuel annually in Alaska and employs approximately 150 people.  Delta Western is proud to provide vital energy resources in support of communities, individuals, and Alaska’s most essential industries.

In its drive to meet and exceed its customer demands, Delta Western has a track record of agile and innovative fuel solutions.  Leveraging relationships with the importers of fuel into Alaska, Delta Western can source and acquire fuel into our system on an emergency notice if needed.
