A fire and explosion hit interconnecting pipes at the Pengerang Integrated Complex in Johor. The fire was put out in about an hour. Petronas Chemicals said the pipes were not part of its own plants. Its plants were not damaged, but they were shut down for safety because the complex is so connected. This is a clear contingent business interruption case. A loss can come from shared infrastructure the operator does not own. Source: The Edge Malaysia.
