New Supply Base Jetty For BSP In Muara
By Yusrin Junaidi

Bandar Seri Begawan - The new Muara Supply Base Jetty, which measures 120m by 48m and is equipped with three loading facilities and 14 storage tanks, will provide a boost for Brunei Shell Petroleum's operations.

The new jetty was officially opened by Minister of Energy in the Prime Minister's Office, Pehin Dato Awg Hj Yahya.

The new jetty, constructed by a local contractor and managed by BSP, in joint partnership with various government stakeholders, is expected to facilitate BSP's business activities, especially its offshore operations, over the next 30 years and beyond.

Delivering welcoming remarks at the opening ceremony was Managing Director of BSP, Dr Grahaeme Henderson, who said the new jetty "was managed by a multi-disciplinary project team from BSP and various government departments, inicuding Petroleum Unit, Ministry of Finance, Fisheries Department, Marine Department, Ministry of Defence, Royal Brunei Navy, Port Authority, Royal Brunei Police Force, Fire and Rescue Department, Department of Environment, Parks and Recreation, and the Internal Security Department. I would like to further acknowledge that a senior officer from the Petroleum Unit was assigned full time to work and contribute towards this project. This

is surely an outstanding example, a best-practice par excellence, of private sector and the government working together, hand-in-hand as one cohesive team."

Dr Henderson added that the BSP project team was made up entirely of, and led by, Bruneian engineers and technical professionals.

The Minister of Energy signed a commemorative plaque to mark the opening of the jetty before touring the jetty and viewing an exhibition held in conjunction with the opening ceremony. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
