Production at Igsaş’s NPK plant at the company’s Kocaeli facility, adjacent to the Tupras terminal in Turkey’s Izmit Bay, is reportedly suspended following a fire at the site on Oct. 31. The urea plant continues to operate, however, and the Izmit port authority also confirmed there was no suspension of operations at Izmit port.
The cause of the fire, which was extinguished within half an hour after the arrival of emergency services, is not known, according to a report by Gulf Agency Company, citing local media. No loss of life or injuries were observed, according to initial reports.
