Bangkok Aviation Fuel Services Public Company Limited, or BAFS, has notified the Stock Exchange of Thailand that it immediately ordered a halt to oil transport through its pipeline system after a leak was detected along the pipeline route. Mom Luang Nattasit Diskul, the company's Chief Executive Officer, said that its subsidiary, BAFS Pipeline Transportation Company Limited, or BPT, owns the pipeline system that carries oil from the Bangchak refinery to the Chong Nonsi oil depot and onward to the Don Mueang aviation fuel depot, the Suvarnabhumi aviation fuel depot, and the ground oil depot at the Bang Pa-in oil depot, and that this is the pipeline route running through the area where the incident occurred. BPT has granted the rights to use and manage the assets of this pipeline system to Bangkok Fuel Pipeline Transportation and Logistics Company Limited, or BFPL, since 1 January 2022. So far there have been no severe impacts on the public, surrounding communities, or the environment. BPT and BFPL are jointly investigating to locate the leak point in order to bring the situation under control as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, aviation fuel deliveries to Don Mueang Airport and Suvarnabhumi Airport, as well as ground fuel deliveries to the northern region, are continuing as normal, and the damage remains covered by the insurance policies taken out by BPT and BFPL. The company will notify the Stock Exchange of Thailand of further information if there are developments that could have a material impact.
