A fuel ration on the Pribilof Island of St. Paul ended Tuesday after more than a month and a half of limiting fuel for both residents and fishermen.
The Bering Sea community announced the ration in late February after bad weather repeatedly canceled the arrival of a fuel barge.
The North Pacific Fuel barge finally arrived at the dock on Tuesday, according to City Manager Phil Zavadil. The city had been waiting on its arrival since November of last year.
"I think we've been expecting it each month and then it didn't arrive because of weather and timing with delivery to other communities," he said.
