The Energy Ministry's secretary says a 6.6 cm, 7 mm-deep crack was found under a pipe sleeve on the Rama 3 fuel line. Bangchak group must repair it with wrap, retest with UT Scan, then run a pressure test and an intelligent pigging inspection along the full 32 km. Any high-risk sections need a replacement plan. The regulator has also ordered maintenance records and sleeve locations. For a Thai SME this is mainly background, though fuel supply on Rama 3 could be disrupted while repairs run and the pipe-replacement plan may affect the area's road and logistics access.
