Summary · why it matters

Bangkok Aviation Fuel Services Public Company Limited, or BAFS, disclosed that its subsidiary, BAFS Pipeline Transportation Company Limited, or BPT, which owns the oil pipeline system running 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 depot, has immediately halted oil transportation through the pipeline system upon detecting an oil leak. At present, no serious impact on the public, surrounding communities, or the environment has been observed. BPT has granted the rights to use and manage the assets of the pipeline system in return for compensation to Krungthep Fuel Pipeline Transportation and Logistics Company Limited, or BFPL, effective from January 1, 2022, and the two companies have worked closely together to investigate and locate the leak point in order to contain the incident, with priority given to the safety of the public and communities. The company stated that all oil companies transporting oil through the pipeline are still able to manage their oil deliveries, and that this incident has not affected aviation fuel deliveries at either Don Mueang Airport or Suvarnabhumi Airport, nor ground oil deliveries to the northern region. The damage remains covered by insurance policies taken out by BPT and BFPL, and the company continues to monitor and track the situation closely.
