Buckeye Bahamas Hub (BBH) Resumes Full Operations
September 20 2019 - 12:30PM
Buckeye Partners, L.P. (“Buckeye”) (NYSE: BPL) today reported that
it resumed full operations at its Buckeye Bahamas Hub (“BBH”)
following completion of inspections and necessary repairs of
impacts from Hurricane Dorian. Completed assessments of the
facility identified only minor damage from wind and rain, and no
indications of any product release or environmental threats. “On
behalf of the entire company, I want to thank the Buckeye emergency
response teams and all of our employees in The Bahamas for their
dedicated work to safely restore operations at our Buckeye Bahamas
Hub,” said Khalid A. Muslih, Executive Vice President and President
of Buckeye’s Global Marine Terminals.
Consistent with its efforts, Buckeye also
announced a meaningful financial contribution to the Bahamas
National Emergency Management Administration (NEMA) and the Grand
Bahama Disaster Relief Fund (GBDRF) to assist with relief and
recovery efforts from the storm’s devastating impacts to the
island’s residents and businesses. In addition,
donations have been made by Buckeye and its employees to the
Buckeye Foundation, a non-profit charitable organization which
exists to provide hardship relief to our employees and their
families in the aftermath of natural disasters. BBH is a
long-standing partner to the Grand Bahama Island and Freeport
communities, and supporting its employees, their families and
neighbors, as well as the government’s relief agencies, is a top
priority for Buckeye. Buckeye made similar contributions when
Hurricane Matthew struck Grand Bahama Island and Freeport in
2016.
“Buckeye wants to do our part to support the
process of recovering from the unprecedented devastation of
Hurricane Dorian. We have communicated our commitment to assist
with the effort to the Government of The Bahamas and will continue
working closely with the government and the community through the
rebuilding effort,” Mr. Muslih said.
