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.
