April 4 (Bloomberg) — Royal Dutch Shell Plc’s 420,000- barrel-a-day Pernis refinery in Rotterdam had to shut down several units earlier today because of a power outage, a spokesman said.
“There was a power outage at 2 a.m. and some units went off line,” Shell spokesman Wim van de Wiel said by phone from The Hague today. The units have already returned to full capacity, said Van de Wiel.
The Pernis refinery is Europe’s largest. Shell, the biggest oil company in Europe by market value, suffered a power outage at Pernis in July 2005 that forced the company to curb production there for four days.
The Environmental Protection Agency Rijnmond and local police are investigating a possible connection between the shutdown and particles of white dust that appeared near the refinery, said DCMR spokeswoman Marieke Schoneveld by phone from Schiedam, Netherlands.
“There is a possibility the shutdown and the white dust are connected,” Shell’s Wim van de Wiel said.

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.
