Posted 23 July 04
Royal Dutch/Shell Group will close an oil-processing unit at its 390,000 barrel-a-day Pernis refinery in the Netherlands in September for four or five weeks of maintenance, Reuters reported, citing an unidentified spokesman.
Shell’s maintenance on the so-called crude distillation unit takes place every four years and will cut production by 195,000 barrels a day, the newswire said.
Maintenance turnarounds in the coming months are also scheduled for BP Plc’s 400,000 barrel a day Rotterdam plant and Total SA’s 149,000 Vlissingen, Netherlands plant, Reuters said, without citing anyone.
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.
