CPC Re-Confirmed Compliance with International Standards

Caspian Pipeline Consortium has successfully passed an ISO 14001:2004 re-certification of its Environmental Management System and revalidated its OHSAS 18001:2007 certificate.
 BSI (British Standards Institution), an international certification authority, again found CPC's HSE Management System to be consistent with international standards. According to audit results, CPC's HSE policy allows it to manage oil movements and storage, loading operations in the Black Sea and to manage the unified oil pipeline system in Kazakhstan and Russian Federation with high efficiency.
These certificates provide evidence of CPC's focus on environmental and industrial safety in its daily operations. To that end, key parameters of any operations that can have potential environmental impact are monitored regularly, technologies and processes used are evaluated for legal compliance, CPC management and personnel develop the best emergency response actions, specifically, conducting regular oil spill response drills. In addition, CPC has an incident and near-miss investigation standard which allows it to mitigate any future incidents. It should be noted that the consortium not only strives to maintain HSE standards itself but also requires its contractors to do the same. 
According to General Director Nikolai Platonov, "Focus on environmental and industrial safety and consistent compliance with applicable laws and international standards are the fundamental business principles of Caspian Pipeline Consortium".

The CPC pipeline system is one of the largest investment projects with foreign capital in the energy sector in the CIS. The length of the pipeline connecting oil fields in Western Kazakhstan with the Marine Terminal in Novorossiysk is 1,511 km. CPC's Marine Terminal is equipped with Single Point Moorings that allow to load tankers safely at a significant distance offshore, including bad weather conditions.
