At the moment, due to the safety reasons, experts of Unipetrol are allowed to enter only into selected parts of the damaged locations. There is ongoing progressive preventative checking if there is any damage of the statics at some constructions, as well as the final removal of residual hydrocarbons in technological facilities in order to ensure that the working of the maintenance team at the site is completely safe. Once the full access will be allowed, our specialists will map out the exact extent of the damages, plan the necessary repairs and schedule the restart of production.
There is still ongoing investigation of a special team composed of the Police of the Czech Republic and the Fire and Rescue Services in place of the accident.
Regarding the production in Chempark Záluží, the petrochemical operations remain shut down. The refinery produces mainly gasoline and diesel in a limited extent. At its minimum operation is also the production of agrochemicals. The emergency situation did not affect the refinery in Kralupy that is currently running at its full capacity.
We want to re-establish the production in the plant in the shortest possible term. Regarding the restart of operation in full extent, we are still talking approximately about the horizon of months rather than weeks.
