Derom condemns CPO leakage

MEDAN, North Sumatra: The Indonesian Palm Oil Employers
Association expressed concern on Thursday about the spill of
hundreds of kilo-liters of crude palm oil onto docks in the port
of Belawan.

Chairman Derom Bangun said the spill on Wednesday, which was
caused by a leak in an oil pipe, could deter oil producers from
using the port to send their products overseas. The pipe connects
a storage facility with ships and tankers transporting the oil.

Belawan is one of the largest seaports in Indonesia through
which crude palm oil -- amounting between 8,000 and 10,000 tons
per day on average -- was exported to other countries. -- JP
