The Federal Environmental, Industrial and Nuclear Supervision Service of Russia (Rostechnadzor) is to carry out unscheduled inspections of 73 seaport terminals handling oil and petroleum products.
Rostechnadzor’s press service told Russian state news agency TASS that Russian deputy prime minister Victoria Abramchenko had ordered the new field audits in the wake of an oil spill at a marine terminal owned by the Caspian Pipeline Consortium on the Black Sea in August 2021.
Rostechnadzor inspectors will assess compliance with mandatory safety requirements for the throughput and storage of oil and petroleum products, including the facility’s ability to deal with accidents.
The regulator passed the list of 73 facilities to be inspected to the Russian government office on August 20, 2021 and it was signed by the head of the service Alexander Trembitsky on September 27, 2021.
