During the night, according to a spokesperson for the safety region, the situation was stable, so that deployment of the fire brigade was no longer necessary around 3:30 a.m. “The company can now handle it further itself,” said the spokesman.

The leak occurred around 11:45 PM on Saturday evening. Two employees of the company were injured. One of them had to be transported to hospital, the second was treated on the spot. A BP spokesperson could not yet tell how they are doing. He expects to have more information on Sunday afternoon. An investigation has been started into how the leak could occur.

BPRR is one of the largest refineries in Western Europe and processes 400,000 barrels of petroleum daily (19 million tons annually), according to the company’s website.
