LONDON (ICIS news)--Shell Chemicals has declared force majeure on styrene at its Moerdijk plant in the Netherlands as a result of problems with its upstream ethylene supply, a company source said on Thursday.
“We declared force majeure on styrene yesterday [24 February], after we had to declare force majeure for the feedstock ethylene earlier,” the source said. The company has been experiencing production problems for almost a week now.
