AMSTERDAM, July 3 (Reuters) – Anglo-Dutch oil giant Royal Dutch Shell Plc. (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Monday that it had yet to complete a turnaround programme at its massive Pernis refinery in Rotterdam after three months of maintenance work.
A Shell spokesman declined to comment on the details of the Pernis refinery’s restart. “The turnaround programme is still ongoing, we have no comment on individual units or timing,” a spokesman for the oil major said.
Oil traders say that the 412,000 barrels per day (bpd) Dutch Pernis refinery has managed to restart its crude distillation unit, but the gasoline-making catalytic cracker, badly damaged by a utility failure in January, remains down.
The 50,000 bpd catalytic cracker, a major source of gasoline for Europe and the United States, has been closed for almost three months of maintenance work to resolve the glitches.
Early in June Shell failed to restart the crude unit and the start-up of the gasoline maker has been delayed until the end of this month.

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.
