Throughout the meeting, participants discussed current safety practices, recent observations, and opportunities to prevent potential risks before they occur. These conversations highlight a core belief that guides our operations: safety is ongoing, and every incident is preventable. By creating space for honest dialogue and shared learning, we continue to align our partners with YTI’s expectations and deepen our collective commitment to safe operations.

As always, we appreciate the partnership and engagement from all who joined us. Their dedication plays a key role in helping us build a safer terminal, protect our workforce, and ensure everyone goes home safely at the end of each day.
