THE
\nRECENT fire outbreak at the Buipe Depot of the Bulk Oil Storage and
\nTransportation (BOST) Company Limited resulted in the loss of 36,000 litres of
\npetrol valued at about GH\u00a2200,000.<\/p>\n

The
\ndisaster, according to BOST, started late in the evening of January 3, this
\nyear, and caused considerable damage to four bulk road vehicles (BRVs), two of
\nwhich were loaded with petroleum products on the premises of the company.<\/p>\n

Marlick
\nAdjei, Head of Corporate Communications and External Affairs at BOST, said one
\nof the two trucks on the premises which also contained 36,000 litres of diesel did
\nnot explode even though there was considerable damage to both trucks.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt
\nthe current price of GH\u00a25.41\/litre,
\nthe value of the product lost is estimated at GH\u00a2194,760,\u201d the statement noted.<\/p>\n

The
\ncompany disclosed that the affected BRVs belonged to the Ghana Oil Company
\n(GOIL) and BF Energy, adding that per the standard of operating procedures, the
\ntrucks were not supposed to park within the premises of the depot.<\/p>\n

The
\ndepot, which is the central fuel holding point of BOST, served the five regions
\nof the north \u2013 Savanna, Northern, North-East, Upper East and Upper West \u2013 and
\nreceives products through river barges and BRVs from the Accra Plains depot of
\nBOST.<\/p>\n

BOST
\nindicated that there was a sizable volume of products destroyed in the accident
\neven though products supplied to the five regions remained untampered with.<\/p>\n

The company assured the general public that its strategic fuel stocks for the affected regions and the country at large remained intact, adding that the cause of the fire was under investigation.<\/p>\n
