On October 29, 2025, representatives of the Shareholders visited the Consortium's Marine Terminal facilities. Accompanied by the CPC General Director and the Company management team, delegation inspected the equipment of this Consortium's largest industrial facility.
The visit included a walkdown of the Tank Farm and Shore Facilities operating sites, sea trip to the single point mooring location area and SPM visual inspection. The issues related to implementation of the 2026 scheduled program for replacement of single point moorings were also discussed summing up the results of anchor caissons installation for new SPMs.
The meeting covered the issue of providing all CPC operational divisions with equipment and spare parts to carry out the necessary
repairs and ensure reliable operation of the pipeline system.
Furthermore, the visitors were able to observe the unscheduled tests of emergency readiness of the Terminal's forces and resources.
In the morning, fire tactical drill to extinguish SVFRT-100000 fire and operational deployment of foam extinguishing systems took place in the Tank Farm. About 30 specialists and 7 pieces of equipment were involved in the exercise. According to the legend, as a result of an emergency, fire broke out across the entire surface area of the tank. Concurrently, automatic fire extinguishing and cooling systems went off normally. However, as per the drill legend, based on the smoke content, conclusion was made about continuing burning. Simultaneously, by fire alarm signal, the site fire station personnel
and representatives of volunteer fire brigades moved out of the Tank
Farm fire depot. Within the time allotted they successfully deployed two sets of foam extinguishing systems. Subsequently, two simultaneously operating pumping units in fire extinguishing pump stations were controlled.
In the afternoon, oil spill response and containment training sessions were held in the CPC Marine Terminal water area. According to the legend, emergency situation developed during vessel loading at the single point mooring (SPM CPC-2) as a result of the outer floating string marine breakaway coupling parting. The assumed oil spill was 24.5 m3.
Three boom formations were deployed in the water area to contain and clean up the oil spill. 60 specialists deployed 600 meters of boomings, three oil-skimming systems and other equipment on 13
fleet units.
350 m of booms and eight oil-skimming systems were used to protect the shore. About 120 specialists took part in this part of the operation.
CPC Shareholders highly appreciated the provision of the Consortium's emergency response units with the necessary forces and resources, as well as the rapid response of MT employees and contractors to remedy the consequences of similar emergency situations.
It is worth reminding that CPC conducts at least 10 large-scale oil spill response and fire extinguishing exercises annually. Large-scale exercises are conducted in CPC on a regular basis, allowing to assess
the readiness of the CPC pipeline operation teams, Security and dispatchers of the Consortium to emergencies.
