Stolt-Nielsen Limited : Hurricane Harvey Update
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
LONDON, August 30, 2017 - Stolt-Nielsen Limited (Oslo Børs: SNI) today issued a
statement regarding the impact of Hurricane Harvey on its operations in Houston.
Local assets include the bulk-liquid storage terminal Stolthaven Houston; a tank
container depot operated by Stolt Tank Containers; and an office building on the
Houston Ship Canal that serves as headquarters for Stolt-Nielsen's operations in
the Americas.
The company reported that all employees are accounted for and safe. All company
assets in Houston suffered no material damage, and there are no reports of
spills or product contaminations as a result of the storm.
Areas around Stolthaven Houston are flooded, with roads, rail and the ship
channel all closed, preventing access to the terminal. The terminal is not
expected to become operational for at least the next few days, as flood waters
recede and safe access is again possible. Similarly, Stolt Tank Containers'
maintenance and repair facility was not damaged by the storm.
All Stolt Tankers' ships in the area are safe and are fully operational. Loading
and discharge operations were suspended prior to the storm and the ships put out
to sea before the storm made landfall. It is uncertain when normal port
operations will resume, and significant congestion is expected to cause further
delays as the situation returns to normal.
While it is too early to estimate the financial impact of the storm, the company
said the amount is not expected to be material.
