Thailand’s Marine Department has finally granted permission for Star Petroleum Refining Plc (SPRC) to start repairing the ruptured submarine oil pipeline at the offshore mooring platform off Rayong province.

 

The decision, after several days’ delay, was reached during an urgent Zoom meeting today (Sunday), which was attended by representatives of the oil company, the Marine Department, the Council of Engineers of Thailand, the Engineering Institute of Thailand, the Federation of Thai Industries, the Department of Pollution Control and Map Ta Phut police.

 

The approved maintenance plan will consist of applying leak stopping compounds, pumping residual oil out of the pipeline and the use of special adhesive material wrapped around the two points of rupture in the pipeline.

I am by no means an expert on the subject, but this sure seems like a hack for something that requires serious attention.

Meanwhile, the Royal Thai Navy will place a vessel on standby to observe the repair and support operations, with 24 drivers available to provide support.

 

Don't know why they need so many drivers ???????????? This sounds like they are putting a band-aid to stem an arterial wound, I would suggest this is a temporary measure, by the sound of things the pipeline is corroding from the inside and probably needs replacing.

Yup , take it easy. If someone makes a pic under water with marine life, then he is hanged , banned, fined.

No problems if you loose oil to destroy marine life.
