Crude slate

Waterborne, primarily foreign crude (North Sea, Canada, West Africa) supplemented by rail-delivered domestic light crude; no major inbound crude pipeline identified.

Crude in & products out

Direction	Mode	Route	Point / origin	Products	Source
crude in	marine	Arthur Kill / New York Harbor marine terminal Multiple sources describe Bayway crude supply as tanker-delivered on these named origins; the refinery sits directly on the Arthur Kill waterway / NY Harbor.	Tanker-delivered crude primarily from the North Sea, Canada, and West Africa	crude	source
crude in	rail	Phillips 66 Bayway crude-by-rail receiving terminal A dedicated railcar crude-receiving facility at Bayway with ~75,000 bpd capacity, built/owned by Phillips 66 Partners.	Domestic light crude (historically Bakken-era rail supply)	crude	source
products out	pipeline	Colonial Pipeline Linden, NJ is Colonial Pipeline's documented mainline terminus (operational Houston-to-Linden since Dec 1963), located at/adjacent to the Bayway complex. This is fundamentally a delivery point bringing Gulf Coast-refined products INTO the Linden/NY Harbor market (an 'Intra Harbor Transfer' hub), not crude oil supply out of Bayway or necessarily a Bayway-originated products shipment -- so as a directional crude/product edge tied to the refinery itself it should be treated with caution even though the physical Colonial infrastructure at Linden is very well documented.	Linden Junction Tank Farm and Delivery Facility (Colonial's historical northern terminus)	gasoline distillate	source
products out	pipeline	Buckeye Pipeline Sources describe products received at Linden, NJ being moved onward via pipeline to Newark Liberty Airport and via additional lines to JFK and LaGuardia airports and to Long Island City/Inwood NY terminals -- consistent with the Buckeye Partners Northeast products network, though the specific pipeline operator name for these Linden-origin lines was not explicitly confirmed as 'Buckeye' in the sources reviewed.	Linden, NJ regional distribution lines	gasoline distillate jet fuel	source
products out	marine	Arthur Kill / New York Harbor marine terminal Bayway's distribution is explicitly multi-modal: pipeline, barge, railcar and truck to East Coast customers.	On-site docks	gasoline distillate residual fuel oil	source

Events

2025-Q1 expansion
Bayway Crude Tower Project completed during the 1Q 2025 turnaround, adding ~40,000 bpd of additional heavy/light crude switching capability. source
2025-08-14 fire
Fire in ancillary equipment near the refinery's Fluid Catalytic Cracking (gasoline-producing) unit cut gasoline output; Phillips 66 expected to resolve within days and return to full production. source
2025-07 outage
Storm-related power outage caused a partial shutdown at Bayway; Phillips 66 bought fuel on the open market to make up shortfalls, contributing to a brief NY Harbor price spike. source

Rates are pipeline line-haul transcribed from published FERC tariffs; every figure cites its tariff and item. Cost to serve (netback) adds origin spot price and destination fees. "Confirmed" links match a tariff delivery point to the facility; "same city" means the point is in the facility's city — plausible, not proof; "per research" means the facility's research profile names the pipeline as an outlet.
