The damage rate is being investigated by Dutch officials. Fire flames that exploded over the “Pernis” refinery occurred Saturday at the [...] station.
Fire flames that broke out over the “Pernis” refinery occurred on Saturday at the high blood pressure station at Rotterdam port.
Firemen's spokesman, Thijs van Velzen, said the flames disappeared Sunday morning. No one has been injured in this incident.
The British-Helling oil giant reported the media that the fire may have been caused by a short electricity circuit. But they also let it be known that they want to know more about this incident before the final cause is commented, said “Deutsche Welle”, the Periscope broadcast.
Oil cuts from the Rotterdam plant are expected to increase oil products prices, fuels and gasoline in northwest Europe.
