September 11, 2010, CARACAS – A significant fire broke out on Saturday at a dock where the oil tanker Sonia was in the process of loading. This incident temporarily disrupted operations at Venezuela's Cardon refinery, which has a capacity of 310,000 barrels per day. The blaze occurred shortly after another oil facility had experienced a fire, highlighting ongoing safety concerns in the region's oil infrastructure. The Sonia, capable of transporting 400,000 barrels of oil, was specifically loading diesel and A1 jet fuel intended for shipment to Jamaica. Fortunately, the crew was promptly evacuated, and tugs successfully towed the vessel to a more secure location. According to Chavez, a representative of the shipping sector, the ship sustained no substantial damage. Currently, maintenance work is being conducted on the pipes at dock number one. An investigation committee will be formed soon to determine the extent of the damage and the cause of the fire.
