According to the agency, Marcelino de Lannoy, managing director of RdK, declared through digital platforms that “Curaçao will seek the approval of a Dutch court to sell Bonaire Petroleum Corp (BOPEC) and its storage terminal of 10 million barrels of crude, in the event that you do not receive the proper amount from PDVSA ”.
The agency also stated that “they tried to contact de Lannoy, and the managers of BOPEC and PDVSA, but they did not have the opportunity to specify the amount that the Venezuelan company owes to the companies involved,” Reuters said.
However, he explained that PDVSA has had a history of debt, where “The US (company) ConocoPhillips obtained in 2018 a court order that froze PDVSA’s inventories in Bonaire and other Caribbean islands to try to collect an arbitration award of 2,000 million of dollars, although it was later withdrawn. ”
de Lannoy said that if the oil company does not respect its obligations, “RdK has no alternative but to use its right to sell the facilities at a public auction,” the agency reported.
On the other hand, Reuters stressed that the company from the Netherlands Antilles ended a contract it had with PDVSA to operate on the island of Curaçao, with a capacity of 335,000 barrels per day.
