WILLEMSTAD – A consortium led by Korean investors has requested formal engagement with the government of Curaçao, including the possibility of high-level meetings involving officials from South Korea.

In its communication, the group states that it has received support from the Korean government and suggests that cabinet-level representatives could join a delegation to Curaçao if officially invited.

The consortium has expressed interest in acting as leaseholder, contractor, and operator of the refinery, and has requested discussions on key issues such as tax incentives, leasing arrangements, and the current technical condition of the facility.

According to the documents, the group is seeking clarity on capital expenditure requirements, operational costs, and the feasibility of restoring the refinery to full production.
