bangladesh-web.com: Shell Lube back in Bangladesh
Saturday May 21 2005
Shell Lubricants made a comeback re-launching its products in Dhaka on Thursday, four years after the Dutch oil giant left Bangladesh.
Ranks Petroleum Ltd, a concern of Rangs Group, will market Shell lube oils, which were earlier marketed by the Padma Oil Company, a subsidiary of the Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation.
Ranks was appointed sole distributor for Shell lubricant products in September 2004.
The state minister for energy and mineral resources, AKM Mosharraf Hossain, launched the Shell products at a function at the Hotel Sheraton Dhaka.
He hailed the oil giant for returning to Bangladesh. ‘I hope Shell will consider blending lubricant products alongside marketing.’
Mosharraf also called upon the Dutch energy giant to participate in gas exploration when the government would open the offshore blocks in the Bay of Bengal.
Private sector participation in the petroleum market will ensure quality of products, reduce corruption and create a competitive environment, he said.
Terming Bangladesh a key market for lubricant products, the general manager of Shell Middle East, Qeutin Freddie D’ Silva, said they thought that it would be wise to be back in Bangladesh as the demand of lubricants is high here.
‘Shell will be the market leader by two years,’ he hoped.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
