The Tank Regulations / The Major Accident Regulations

The Major Accident Regulations apply to enterprises where uncontrolled incidents of a major scale, such as fire, explosion, or emissions, may occur.

The regulations require that information about the company's activities, safety measures, and recommended behavior in the event of accidents is communicated to the general public.

Bunker Oil AS is classified as a major accident enterprise based on the quantities of diesel stored, and is therefore subject to the Major Accident Regulations. The authorities impose strict requirements on tank facilities, which are verified through periodic inspections. More information can be obtained from DSB.

Risk Analyses and Safety

Risk analyses have been carried out for the receipt, storage, and distribution of products. The analyses assess the probability of serious incidents and form the basis for measures to eliminate or reduce risk.

The following refined petroleum products are stored at our tank facilities:

• Auto diesel

• Marine gas oil

• Hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO)

The storage is approved by DSB. In addition, smaller quantities of the following are stored:

Emergency Preparedness

Our facilities have their own emergency response group and a 24-hour manned emergency telephone. We work closely with the fire department, police, and other major accident enterprises.

All tank facilities are risk-assessed and have established procedures and emergency plans based on these assessments. Regular drills on various accident scenarios are conducted.

All documentation required under the Major Accident Regulations has been submitted to the supervisory authorities and is updated regularly to reflect changes at the terminals.

Possible Accidents and Consequences

Potential hazards at tank facilities may include leaks or spills of petroleum products from pipes, tanks, or in connection with loading and fueling.

Leaks in themselves do not normally pose a risk to life or health. In the event of a fire in the leaked product, it will be confined to the facility area.

Explosion Hazard

Extensive safety measures have been implemented at our facilities. Modern detection equipment is installed to detect potential hazardous situations at an early stage.

We invest significant resources in preventing leaks and fires. The products are stored in a manner that reduces the risk of explosion to a minimum. Filling from tank trucks to the facilities is done with specialized equipment designed to eliminate the risk of leaks.

Evacuation and Warning Procedures

Our facilities are equipped with overfill alarms. Alarms that may be heard outside Bunker Oil's area do not normally pose any immediate danger.

In the unlikely event that an alarm is triggered, we ask you to contact us via the emergency telephone numbers below or read more at:

Warning procedures in the event of an accident vary depending on the nature and scale of the incident. In the event of major accidents, the police, fire department, and other relevant authorities will be notified. Any warning to the public and evacuation will be led by the police.

In case of fire and smoke blowing towards residential areas, the following is recommended:

• Close windows and vents

• Stay indoors unless instructed otherwise

• Listen to the radio (NRK P1)

In the event of an accident, you are requested to follow instructions and recommendations from the police and emergency service.
