    “On December 8, 2024, an oil sheen was detected at a loading buoy during export operations at Bonny Terminal.

    “Loading was immediately suspended. Our Emergency Response Team has been activated and regulatory authorities and other stakeholders have been notified.

    “A joint investigation visit, led by the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency is underway.

    “Our priority currently is the safety, health and well-being of the local community and the environment.

    “Our environmental team is therefore, actively monitoring the situation and preparing for the implementation of containment and clean-up to minimise any environmental impact,” Afam-Anadu said.

    The facility has a peak capacity to load 1.25 million barrels of Bonny Light Crude blend. NAN
