Statement CPC "Regarding the terrorist attack on a tanker in the waters of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) Marine Terminal. On July 30, 2026, at 01:48 Moscow time, the "NISSOS SIFNOS" tanker, flying the flag of the Marshall Islands and operated by Tengizchevroil LLP (a Chevron company), which was undergoing oil loading at the CPC floating loading device (FLS) No. 3, was subjected to a terrorist attack. As a result of the attack using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a fire broke out in the area of the manifolds for receiving oil on the deck of the tanker. The fire was extinguished by the tanker's crew with the assistance of three CPC support vessels. There were no casualties or injuries among CPC employees or contractors. No oil spills occurred. Medical assistance and evacuation of the tanker's crew were not requested. The tanker remained afloat, and an assessment of the damage is underway. Oil loading has been suspended, and the pipeline facilities are operating in normal mode. In addition, another tanker, the "MARATHI," flying the flag of the Isle of Man and en route to receive oil at the CPC Marine Terminal, was also attacked in the territorial waters, 6 nautical miles from the CPC Marine Terminal. Thus, the calls of the Republic of Kazakhstan and other foreign shareholders of CPC, including through the U.S. Department of State, regarding the inadmissibility of the use of force against international energy infrastructure, were ignored. This creates risks for global energy security, disrupts mechanisms for uninterrupted international trade in energy resources, and causes significant damage to the economic interests of the Republic of Kazakhstan and Western shareholders of CPC, as well as companies that are shippers of CPC, including Chevron, ExxonMobil, Eni, Total, Shell, and others. Such terrorist attacks also pose a threat to the lives of international crews of marine tankers and create significant environmental risks in the Black Sea, as an attack on a tanker in the area of loading facilities could have led to the entire tanker catching fire and a major oil spill." #oott
