Neste Oil (OMX: NES1V) said in a press release that it is investigating the cause of an oil spill from an oil storage in Kajaani. A passer-by noticed the leak on Sunday. According to estimates, thousands of litres of fuel oil have escaped into a stream that empties into a major lake called Oulujärvi.
Neste oil is the operator of a government stockpile owned by Maintenance and Supply Security Centre. The company is sorry about what has happened and says it is committed to use all necessary measures in the cleanup. The leak was plugged shortly following its discovery, but it had already been going on since Friday. Its apparent cause is a pumping system malfunction.
