the Company participated as an observer in the 2026 Marine Oil Spill Emergency Response Exercise and Port Security Exercise, organized by PTT Oil and Retail Business Public Company Limited (OR), Songkhla Petroleum Depot. The exercise was conducted to enhance preparedness for the prevention, containment, and response to marine oil spill emergencies.
The exercise consisted of both a Table Top Exercise (TTX) and a Full Scale Exercise, simulating a scenario in which two oil transfer vessels collided, resulting in an oil spill at sea. The drill included operations to control and contain the spread of the oil slick, rescue affected personnel, and demonstrate the use of oil spill response and recovery equipment, with the objective of strengthening emergency response capabilities and operational effectiveness.
Following the exercise, the observers participated in a discussion to exchange comments and recommendations aimed at further improving future exercises by ensuring they cover a wider range of realistic scenarios. The discussion also focused on enhancing rescue operations and strengthening risk communication with the public.
The Company places great importance on fostering collaboration among relevant organizations and continuously enhancing emergency management capabilities to ensure safety, protect the environment, and promote sustainable operational readiness.
