19 June 2017 - The Malaysian Reserve

PETROLIAM Nasional Bhd’s (Petronas) wholly owned subsidiary, PRPC Utilises and Facilities Sdn Bhd (PRPC UF), signed an agreement with SPT Services Sdn Bhd for the operatorship of the Pengerang Integrated Complex’s (PIC) Solid Product Jetty (SPJ).

Under the contract, Johor Port Bhd’s (JPB) wholly owned subsidiary, SPT Services will provide operating equipment and system for SPJ as well as to manage the operations and maintenance of the jetty.

Petronas Senior VP and PRPC UF Chairman Dr Colin Wong Hee Huing commended the efforts by all parties in ensuring that the agreement is finalised within schedule.

He further said all parties involved in the project need to always be vigilant towards upholding health, safety, security, and environment (HSSE) standards under any circumstances.

“I am confident that SPT Services, with guidance from JPB, will manage the operation of our SPJ in an efficient, competitive and most importantly – safe manner with continuous high HSSE standards in the jetty’s daily operation.”

“We expect good ethics, mutual respect and trust for each other to be demonstrated in delivering the commitments and meeting the expectations of Petronas and other stakeholders in the services provided,” he said in statement last Friday.

Also present during the signing ceremony was SPT Services Director Shahrull Allam Shah Abdul Halim.

The SPJ was designed the volume produced by PIC, as well as ensure the timely export to containerised polymer and sulphur to the market.

Apart from SPJ, the PIC also includes the Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development, the Pengerang Co-generation Plant, a liquefied natural gas regasification terminal – a raw water supply project, the Pengerang Deepwater Terminal, as well as centralised and shared utilities and facilities.

PIC is Petronas’ largest investment in Malaysia, located in Pengerang, Johor and forming part of the state’s ambitious Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex.

The Pic project is designed to produce premium differentiated petrochemicals; meeting domestic demand for petroleum products and the government’s future legislative requirements on the implementation of Euro 5.

With an investment of RM115.7 billion, PIC supports the government’s overall Economic Transformation Programme which will position Malaysia to capitalise on the growing need for energy and commodity petrochemical product in Asia in the next 20 years.

It is expected to spur the growth of Malaysia’s oil and gas downstream sector, pushing Malaysia into a new frontier of technology and economic development.
