Overview
- Pemex reported a diesel leak at its Deer Park refinery dock that was triggered by contact between two private vessels on Sunday during fueling operations.
- The company said crews found and isolated the leak point and set floating booms to hold the fuel in place as part of a Level 3 CAER community alert.
- Coordination with the U.S. Coast Guard continues, and authorities have not halted traffic in the Houston Ship Channel.
- Pemex said there are no reported effects on nearby communities or refinery operations, and it estimated full cleanup and repairs will take about two days.
- President Claudia Sheinbaum said the situation is under control, while the lack of a disclosed spill volume and recent accidents at other Pemex sites keep scrutiny high.
