Shares in newly unified oil giant Royal Dutch Shell suffered a stock market pasting on their first day of trading.
Shell B shares, which originate from its former UK parent, opened higher but fell to close at 1805p, down 31p on the day.
Shell A shares, which originate from the Dutch side of the business, declined by 58p lower at 1766.5p.
The merger sees Royal Dutch Petroleum, which has its headquarters in the Hague, join forces with London-based Shell Transport & Transport.
The difference between the value of the A and B shares is explained by the fact that Dutch authorities impose a 25 per cent tax on dividends.
The unification of the Anglo-Dutch group marks the biggest overhaul in its 100-year history and is designed to eliminate failings that led to its reserves crisis last year.

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.
