Vitol Tank Terminals International BV (VTTI) Friday said The Johor Port Authority has ordered it to stop operations at the company's ATT Tanjung Bin Sdn Bhd (ATB) terminal after a bunker spill was discovered at the site Wednesday, Reuters reports.
The spill is reported to have occurred while the tanker MT Trident Star was being bunkered at the terminal.
VTTI is said to have sent a request to the port authority to have the suspension lifted immediately.
The 1.155 million cubic meter (cbm) capacity terminal is noted to handle a variety of products, including gasoil, fuel oil, gasoline, jet fuel, and biofuels.
