Update - Covid-19

26 March 2020

First and foremost, I hope that everybody is doing well under the circumstances and that we are all adhering to the safety procedures both the company and the government have put in place. Your health comes first, be safe.

I would like to inform you about our current developments. The duration of this pandemic is unknown, so we are preparing long-term plans to be able to pull through the impact the Corona virus is going to have on our island and our businesses. Our focus is to secure your jobs.

As mentioned before, we have survived a similar situation back in 1985. When the refinery closed, we took immediate measures to ensure employment. We are preparing similar measures at this moment; these require sacrifices on all ends, be it by doing other work than normally, which is partly already in progress, or by reducing working hours. Together we will survive and come back stronger and better than before.

Stay safe, stay healthy.
