One of The Barbados National Energy Company Limited (BNECL) containers transported from the Bridgetown Port became over-pressurised earlier today, prompting emergency protocols to be activated.
Speaking on the scene at Belle, St Michael, Group Health and Safety Manager Damian Caitlyn said the driver followed procedure by pulling off in a lightly populated area and alerting the Barbados Fire Service as a precaution. The pressure of the liquefied natural gas was later reduced safely without incident.
Two fire trucks, two station officers and eight fire officers responded after receiving the call around 12:21 p.m.
