WILLEMSTAD - The registration of Isla Refinery staff with their temporary employer, the Curaçao Refinery Utilities (CRU) has started. Refinery personnel must register with Ernst & Young, which supervises the process.

Salary and secondary employment conditions remain the same.

Now that the Venezuelan State Oil Company PdVSA is gone, the Curacao Refinery Utilities will operate the refinery itself, until Klesch Group takes over, on July 1 if everything goes according to plan.
