MOSCOW, June 20 (TASS) - Oil pumping to Poland over the Mozyr-Adamovo oil pipeline was suspended because of rated content of chlorinated organics was suspended, official spokesman of the Russian oil pipeline operator Transneft Igor Dyomin told reporters on Thursday.

Oil pumping was suspended at 20.17 Moscow time on June 19 on the basis of results of point samples for chlorinated organics. Oil pumping to Poland was resumed at 08.37 am Moscow time of June 20 by the decision of the Polish side on the basis of the result of the composite daily sample for June 19, the spokesman said.

“According to Belarusian colleagues, the probable cause of the short-term increase of COC [chlorinated organic compounds — TASS] content was the automatic actuation of the drainage tanks swaying system at the Pump Station Kobrin [Belarus] from 14.00 Moscow time of June 18 in the volume of 20 cubic meters,” Dyomin said.

Poland found contamination in oil pumped over its pipeline and suspended pumping for several hours, the Polish operator of Druzhba oil pipeline PERN said on its website on Thursday.

“PERN found oil contamination and suspended its pumping over the Druzhba pipeline for several hours. Supplies have already been resumed,” the company said.
