This scheduled, five-yearly maintenance work was performed on the product transfer hoses of the SPM marine loading facility, which is used by PetroSA.
The SPM is used as a loading facility of finished petroleum products to vessels or to deliver certain petroleum products destined for the GTL Refinery and Voorbaai tank farm.
The preventative maintenance is important to ensure equipment integrity for loading tankers in Mossel Bay.
Maintenance is always conducted in an environmentally responsible manner, as approved by the Mossel Bay Municipality.
Environmental Officers from PetroSA were at the beach to oversee the maintenance activities.
The maintenance was performed excellently without any incident or contamination of our pristine beach area.
Russel Mamabolo, Regional Manager Corporate Affairs thanked all stakeholders involved in the maintenance project who ensured the work was performed according to plan, without any impact on the environment and who ensured that the beach was left to its original, prestine state.
