The Primorsky District Court of Novorossiysk has reviewed the case against CPC-R, a subsidiary of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium that operates a marine terminal on the Black Sea, Orda.kz reports.
Inspectors from the Federal Service for Supervision of Transport examined CPC-R's handling of hazardous cargo, including oil loading and unloading processes, and safety compliance at the terminal facilities.
After reviewing 43 documents and inspecting equipment, including underwater inspections, regulators identified violations related to oil transshipment through remote mooring units (VPUs).
Authorities required CPC-R to rectify the violations by June 30. Although regulations could have resulted in a suspension of operations for up to 90 days, the court imposed only a fine of 200,000 rubles, allowing berth operations to continue.
Previously, two VPU units at CPC’s marine terminal were temporarily shut down following an inspection, posing potential economic risks to Kazakhstan, which relies heavily on the CPC pipeline for oil exports.
