The massive fire in the port yesterday demanded that the Supreme Defense Council meet at night in the Republican Palace headed by President Michel Aoun.

According to information from Al-Gomhoria, after Aoun and Acting Prime Minister Hassan Diab’s speech at the start of the meeting, leaders of the security services spoke and presented initial reports that they prepared to summarize the causes of the port fire and suggestions for corrective actions. The port chief made several proposals to address the situation, noting that the fire occurred on a leased land within the BCC Logistics free land, and the maintenance process was carried out on the roof of one of the containers on this land, and a rain of welding sparks blew into the warehouse and the sparks hit the goods in it, which are materials. Red Cross food, UNIFIL oils and cosmetics. There was a great ignition, and the materials within these goods caused the intensification and expansion of the fire in a great quantity that was not easily extinguished. It was also found that there was negligence on the part of the person who carried out the maintenance, and it was agreed that the Military Police investigate this fire.

The meeting addressed the existence of containers that contain hazardous materials, since there was consensus on the need to make lists of these goods and present proposals for their disposal, since it was found that there are 49 containers that have circumstances and contain flammable materials, with the need to find a quick solution to them after communicating with their owners and some of them were left behind. These goods were taken from them, and some knew that they no longer wanted them, so it was decided to destroy them, they are containers that store materials that contain “acid” and “phosphoric acid”, batteries and gasoline.

What if the company that carried out the maintenance and welding work had obtained prior permission? The “land boss” replied that “it is owned by BCC Logistics and is not supposed to have permission.” Here, the discussion touched the chaos in the port and its management, and proposals arose on what could be done. The President of the Republic requested the formation of a committee of the Minister of Works and representatives of the security services present in the port and of the port administration, to prepare a new mechanism for organizing work in the same and adopt a new organization to the same one in which the responsibilities are determined by all those involved, so that what happened is not repeated. Among the proposals, the head of the interim government presented a proposal to create a security apparatus for the port, as it is at the airport.

He asked the committee to develop a vision to organize and control the work of the port and get it up quickly. Diab emphasized the need to deal with hazardous containers and the priority for those that contain flammable materials. The talk about the counters and the merchandise on them occupied much of the discussion, especially the inspection of all these goods within a mechanism in which the assets are examined under a “scanner”.
