Jamalco Refinery Back to Full Production Following Hurricane Beryl
July 12 2024 - 10:55AM
Century Aluminum today announced that its Jamalco bauxite mining
and alumina production joint venture has returned to full
production following the impact of the recent Hurricane Beryl in
Jamaica. No injuries to employees nor significant damage occurred
to Jamalco’s production facilities. Century does not expect the
event to have a material effect on its financial results.
” I want to say thank you to the entire Jamalco team who did a
remarkable job preparing for and operating safely through this
major storm,” said Century’s President and CEO Jesse Gary. “While
we are thankful that our employees are safe and that no significant
damage occurred at the refinery, the hurricane did have a major
impact on the surrounding communities, and we are working with
local officials in Clarendon and other parishes to assist those in
need.”
While Jamalco’s production facilities escaped significant
damage, the port facility was impacted by the storm, where a
portion of the alumina conveyor was damaged and will need repair.
The repairs are anticipated to be completed in several weeks.
Jamalco has secured alternative port arrangements to ensure
continued alumina shipments to its customers while the repairs to
the conveyor are ongoing. The damage to Jamalco’s alumina conveyor
is not anticipated to impact the refinery’s production levels,
ability to receive raw materials or otherwise operate the
refinery.
