OIL SPILL INCIDENT
In May 2016, the Bulking
Division’s Butterworth terminal
experienced an accidental
spillage of 0.4 MT onto the shore
during aCPO transfer operation.
The spill was promptly cleaned
up by the Division’s response
team and no damage to the
shores was found.
The
incident
was
duly
reported to the Department
of
Environment
and
no
legal sanction or penalty
was imposed. Subsequent
investigation by the terminal
revealed the root cause to
be human error. Corrective
and preventive actions have
since been taken, including
modifications to certain work
protocols to avoid future
recurrence.
This was the only oil spill
incident in the Group during the
year under review.
