One of the strings of the Druzhba oil pipeline to Germany has been shut down due to a leak in Poland, while the second string is operating normally, with no damage to the health and lives of locals reported, Poland’s Druzhba operator PERN said.
“On Saturday evening, PERN’s automation systems detected a depressurization of the Druzhba pipeline in the (Polish city of) Chodecz area on one of the two strings of the western section that carries oil to Germany. Pumping on the damaged line was immediately stopped.
The second line of the pipeline is operating normally. There is no threat to the health and lives of local residents,” PERN said.—APP
