Comprehensive investigation into the static discharge leak and rapid valve response at Chattogram coastal terminal. Technical probe findings, emergency response timeline, and preventative guidelines.Executive Summary
On May 14, 2024, a localized flange pressure variance triggered automatic safety shutoff valves at the Chattogram outer anchorage unloading terminal. The Department of Explosives (DoE) joint probe committee deployed high-precision telemetry to determine the root cause.
Key Findings & Telemetry Analysis
- Valve Interlock Efficacy: Automated shut-off activated within 1.8 seconds of differential pressure breach.
- Secondary Containment: Zero vapor escape into coastal perimeter zones.
- Recommended Remediation: Mandating ultrasonic flange testing for all vessel offloading couplings across Chittagong and Mongla ports.
Official investigation documents, valve schematics, and DoE compliance directives are compiled in the attached circular.
