Calgary-based South Bow reports increased income despite April pipeline spill
The company that operates the Keystone pipeline says it expects an in-depth report to be available in September on the impact of an April 8 leak near Fort Ransom, N.D. But Calgary-based South Bow doesn't expect it to reveal any wide-spread problems with the pipeline that runs 4,327 kiolmetres from Hardisty, Alta. to refineries in Illinois, Oklahoma and Texas. The leak of about 3,500 barrels forced the company to shut the pipeline down for about a week, to allow for cleanup efforts that were completed in early June.

The company gave the update as it reported a net income of $96 million U.S. in its second quarter, up from $88 million in the same quarter last year. Prior said the cost of the spill should total about $60 million U.S., which should be covered by insurance.

South Bow va AP South Bow was asked on its earnings call about how the increased talk in Canada of new energy infrastructure, including oil pipelines, could affect the company, but chief executive Bevin Wirzba's answer focused mostly on efforts to add to the company's existing systems. Story continues below advertisement 'For South Bow, we remain committed to leveraging our pre-invested capital that we have, not only in our Alberta systems, but also in our Gulf Coast section, and we're looking to work with customers to find solutions to provide incremental capacity solutions for them over the next number of years.'

According Queensland Police Union president Shane Prior, there is $8 million worth of vehicles sitting in a depot. 9News understands the vehicles have been unable to be rolled out to the frontline for up to four years. (Nine) "Something needs to be done better because taxpayers' money is being spent on this," Prior said. "We are aware that Fleet Services have taken delivery of vehicles in 2021, not kitted out those vehicles and delivered them to the front line till 2025. "Those vehicles no longer have a warranty attached to it. "They've been sitting on flat tyres, which also is a significant workplace health and safety issue, but we've also heard reports of vermin making a home in the vehicles sitting there in the yard." Last week, 9News filmed a number of 2023 Land Cruisers with registration due to expire in October. According Queensland Police Union president Shane Prior, there is $8 million worth of vehicles sitting in a depot. (Nine) 9News has been told officers are driving cars that have clocked 250,000 kilometres, despite police policy dictating vehicles should be replaced once they have been driven 100,000 kilometres. "We've also got a prisoner van up in Caboolture that has over half a million kilometres on the clock," Prior said. Acting Commissioner Shane Chelepy said issues were raised in May and the "backlog has now been cleared". He said there's a "working group meeting weekly to manage the ongoing volume to ensure vehicles are delivered to the frontline as soon as practicable". CONTACT US

Max Stryjek is Kilmarnock hero in narrow cup win against former side Livingston
Polish goalkeeper Stryjek made a series of excellent first-half saves in a 1-0 Premier Sports Cup victory. Livingston goalkeeper Jerome Prior had a less-successful evening as some poor handling led to Mo Sylla's own goal in the 31st minute. Prior could only palm the ball out as Liam Polworth returned his half-cleared corner and it bounced off the unfortunate Sylla and into the net. Livingston made the brighter start but Stryjek was on top form on his debut against the team he left three years ago. The 28-year-old returned to Scotland after spells with Wycombe and 2024 Polish champions Jagiellonia Bialystok and he quickly staked his claim for the number one role after replacing fellow new signing Eddie Beach in the starting line-up. Stryjek pulled off an impressive double stop from Stevie May and twice denied former Killie striker Robbie Muirhead. The home side's final ball had let them down before they capitalised on some decent pressure to make the breakthrough. They defended well in the second half, although Stryjek showed some good handling when called upon and made a point-blank save from Danny Wilson's header. Prior pulled off a good late save to deny Killie substitute Marley Watkins. Victory in the only all top-flight game of the group stage puts Kilmarnock in a commanding position at the top of Group H and sets Kettlewell's side up nicely for their William Hill Premiership opener against the same opponents on August 2.
