Royal Dutch Shell Plc said it plans to stop fuel production at its refinery near Hamburg and turn it into a terminal after a two-year search failed to find a buyer.
The company is still looking to sell the lubricant production unit at the Harburg refinery in Germany. It will maintain the refinery in its current form until the second quarter of 2012, The Hague-based company said in a press release on its website in German today.
We will make every effort to minimize the effects on workers and to maintain the same good level of service and quality products for our customers, said Peter Seifried, head of Shells German business.
The Harburg refinery can process 110,000 barrels a day, according to Bloomberg data.
Shell decided in December to keep its Stanlow refinery in the U.K. running even if a sale to Indias Essar Oil Ltd. falls through.

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.

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.
