Caspian
Pipeline Consortium pursues ecomonitoring of sea water condition in the water
area of the CPC Marine Terminal (MT) and in the adjacent areas via a
third-party certified laboratory.
Monitoring is ongoing after completion of an emergency response
operation at the MT and lifting of the local emergency state on August 30,
2025.Starting
evening of August 30, 2025 to date, samples are taken at five control points
twice a day – in the morning and at night, a total of 10 samples per day. Environmental
monitoring information for August 31 - September 01 is available at:
According to
the updated monitoring data, no excess of the maximum permissible
concentrations (MPC) of pollutants in the water was recorded. Data sampling
plan is attached. It should be noted that the MPC standard for the content of
petroleum products in fishery basins is 0.05 mg/dm3.
Sampling
point map is attached:
- CP1 - to
the east of CPC-2 SPM, in the direction of Shirokaya Balka,
- CP2 - at
1,000 m towards the shore from CPC-3 SPM,
- CP3 -
across from the Durso village beach,
- CP4 -
across from Fregat (Sukhaya Schel),
- CP5 - Maly Utrish
area.
CP1 control
point was selected in order to confirm that the oil slick had not propagated to
the east of CPC-2 SPM. CP2, CP3, CP4, CP5 control points are located along the
oil slick trajectory at the time of the spill.
In parallel,
ongoing monitoring of the shoreline was in progress within CPC MT water area,
in the vicinity of Yuzhnaya Ozereevka and Durso Khutor. No contamination of the shoreline with
petroleum products has been identified. No sorbents were used during the emergency
response operation. Sampling maps for September 02, 03, 04:
