Emmastad “ISLA” refinery

The quality of the Willemstad harbor, the strategic location of Curaçao, and the safe political status of the island also lured Shell to establish an oil refinery and transshipment plant in the harbor in 1916. With 10 jetties, the refinery is being repurposed: refinery activities have stopped, tanks and infrastructure will be modernized for product and chemical blending & storage
