Mr. Patrick Newton of 2BAYS inaugurated the meeting outlining the progress achieved in recent months. David de Haseth, the general manager of CRU, and Ryan Breedijk, ORYX Midstream managing director, presented the exciting plans for the reactivation of operations in Bullenbaai and Emmastad, besides the commercial aspects, emphasizing the importance of the environmental and social impact.

CRU personnel actively participated by posing insightful questions, making the session both dynamic and productive while Oryx presented information about the transition, its commitment to sustainability, positive impact and mission to lead the operations with excellence and integrity as it initiated the plans to revitalize these key facilities in Curaçao.
