The foreseen investments will lead to a reduction of several tens of jobs at the Dutch chemicals terminals organisation for which the management sees opportunities to prevent forced redundancies. Owing to uncertainties in the Dutch chemicals market the intended investments and the restructuring resulting from it are deemed necessary to bring the Dutch chemicals terminals to a structurally better competitive position. The works councils and labor unions have also been informed and will be involved in the further process.
