The DBT Terminal is situated in Muuga Harbor. The main activity of the terminal is provision of transit services (transshipment, warehousing, blending and bagging) to the owners of bulk and general cargo. The main part of the cargo is made up of granulated mineral fertilizers.
The terminal also handles such a fertilizer among others, as granulated ammonium nitrate, which is a combustion-promoting and strong oxidizer of Class 5.1, which can burn and under certain conditions can also explode.
The main risk factor in case of fire is the effect of toxic substances formed as a result of fire – smoke, which is harmful to health.
The main risk factors in case of explosion are:
– blast wave;
– heat radiation;
– effects of toxic substances formed by explosion or fire.
The company’s danger zone is 428 – 2843, depending on the accident.
