Buckeye Bahamas Hub Partially Restarts Operations
September 11 2019 - 6:30AM
Buckeye Partners, L.P. (“Buckeye”) (NYSE: BPL) today reported that
it has partially resumed operations at its Buckeye Bahamas Hub
(“BBH”) facility following Hurricane Dorian. BBH is now able to
accommodate customer vessels at its inland berths for both loading
and unloading of petroleum products. Work continues on completing
final assessments, and restoring full operations at the facility in
the near future. “I would like to commend our Buckeye emergency
response teams for their tireless efforts to support our employees
and their families during the recovery, as well as staying focused
on safely resuming full operations at our Buckeye Bahamas Hub,”
said Khalid A. Muslih, Executive Vice President and President of
Buckeye’s Global Marine Terminals.
As Buckeye previously reported, preliminary
assessments of the facility found only minor damage from wind and
rain, with no indications of any product release or environmental
threats. All BBH employees have been accounted for, and an initial
delivery of supplies and resources for employees and their families
has arrived. Relief efforts will be on going as Buckeye seeks to
assist our employees and the community, as their safety, health,
and well-being is our top priority.
Buckeye will continue to provide updates as
additional information becomes available.
