Paria Fu­el Trad­ing Com­pa­ny Lim­it­ed re­ports that it is con­tin­u­ing to­day, with the mon­i­tor­ing and clean­ing-up of the oil spill dis­cov­ered over the week­end.

An of­fi­cial state­ment from the com­pa­ny fol­lows…

Paria’s In­ci­dent Com­mand Team con­tin­ues to mon­i­tor the sit­u­a­tion at sea and on land and is ad­dress­ing all as­pects of this in­ci­dent.

At ap­prox­i­mate­ly 5.00 a.m. to­day (Mon­day, Au­gust 09, 2021), a fur­ther sea sur­vey was con­duct­ed North and South of the Pointe-a-Pierre port and weath­ered streaks of oil were dis­cov­ered on the sea and will be me­chan­i­cal­ly dis­persed.

Shore­line sur­veys are on­go­ing. Clean-up on land is pro­gress­ing and all the con­tain­ment booms have ef­fec­tive­ly con­fined the spill with no fur­ther mi­gra­tion of oil.

Fur­ther as­sur­ance checks are be­ing per­formed to en­sure there are no ad­di­tion­al breach­es of the in­fra­struc­ture.
