“Shell is in the process of shutting down all the units at the site,” a company spokesman said, as cited by AFP. He added that the process might last for “hours, or even several days.”
Taking all “necessary precautions,” the company said it estimates that “loadings at depot Pernis will be interrupted until and including tomorrow.”
Firefighters succeed in dousing the flames by Sunday morning at around 6:00am [0400 GMT].
However, flashes at the plant could be still seen Sunday evening, as mangement decided to launch a flaring process to burn off excess natural gas in accordance with safety guidelines.
Shell’s spokesman said the process is “completely under control.”
“There are strong flames during flaring. It’s a dramatic sight. But it’s just a controlled process,” the spokesman said, as cited by Het Financieele Dagblad.
“Several units are stopped and for security reasons we are burning off the gas that remained inside them,” he said.
Many photos and videos emerged on social media showing heavy flames and plumes of thick smoke billowing from the plant.
The Dutch authorities were quick to assure the public that the smoke contained no toxic materials but might contain soot. No injuries have been reported.
The facility is estimated to be capable of refining some 400,000 barrels of crude oil per day.
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.
