As part of
KOC’s commitment to preserving the marine environment, the Permanent Committee
of the KOC Diving Team recently visited the Marine Colony, which is an offshore
environmental reserve the Company established a number of years ago.
The purpose
of the visit was to determine the current state of the reserve, in addition to
carrying out any maintenance as required. The Diving Team’s Permanent
Committee, which is affiliated with the Marine Operations Group, includes a
number of employees from various KOC Groups and Teams.
It should be
noted that the visit was conducted in full accordance with all health
requirements and procedures required by the Ministry of Health in order to help
limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
KOC is the
first oil company in the world to establish a Marine Colony. The successful
establishment of the colony has helped protect the State of Kuwait’s marine
environment, in addition to increasing the biodiversity of Kuwait’s territorial
waters.
