Gulf Petrochem achieves ISO certifications

FUJAIRAH, September 14, 2014

The Fujairah terminal of Gulf Petrochem, one of the leading manufacturer of fertilisers and petrochemicals in the UAE, has achieved global standards for quality, occupational health, safety and environmental policies.

TUV Nord was engaged to audit Gulf Petrochem’s compliance in March 2014 and it subsequently awarded the Fujairah terminal with Quality Management System ISO 9001:2008, Environment Management System ISO 14001:2004 and Occupational Health and Safety Management System BS OHSAS 18001:2007 certificates.

The certification will help the integrated energy company expand the capabilities of its Fujairah terminal to handle crude oil and increase its storage capacity to over 1 million cbm from the current with 412,000 cbm, the company said.

The review, requested by Gulf Petrochem, is testament for its commitment to international standards and strict compliance with environmental management systems, quality management systems and health and safety measures, the company said.

Thangapandian, executive director and board member at Gulf Petrochem, said: “The certification ensures we implement our vision for additional tank capacity and plans for a manifold pumping station to connect all terminals in Fujairah, under the protocol that ISO certification demands.”

Sudhir Goyel, managing director and co-founder of Gulf Petrochem, added: “This achievement is conclusive evidence that the company is enhancing its facilities in Fujairah under world-class requirements; which will contribute to maintaining a sustainable environment.” – TradeArabia News Service
