WILLEMSTAD - Refineria Isla (a subsidiary of the Venezuelan State Oil Company PDVSA) has, since 1985 as a refinery operator, invested a total of 9 billion guilders in maintenance in various installations.
With this Isla responds to criticism from the refinery owner, Refineria di Korsou, Curaçao Refinery (RdK).
The RdK stated last week that too little has been invested over the years and that is the reason why it is so difficult to find a new "operator".
As is already knows, the Refineria Isla contract will expire at the end of this year.
