AMSTERDAM (Thomson Financial) – Royal Dutch Shell said a larger amount of ethelyne oxide gas escaped from its Moerdijk location in the Netherlands than previously thought, prompting calls from a Dutch province for an independent inquiry into the incident, Dutch media reported.
Shell said on its Moerdijk website that 5.3 tonnes of the gas was leaked rather than the previous estimate of 1-2 tonnes.
The Anglo-Dutch energy giant also said it asked research bureau TNO to assess the possible impact on public health, but said TNO’s study found that there were no consequences for public health in the region.
But the Dutch province of North Brabant has in response called for an independent inquiry into the incident, which took place in 2004, Dutch media reported.
The Dutch public prosecution office said last year it is prosecuting Shell for alleged violations of environmental regulations at the Moerdijk site.

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.
