Marsden to shut
PA Whangarei The Marsden Point oil refinery will shut early next month for maintenance and to revamp for linking with the new section of the refinery now under construction. The shut-down will .begin on . October 2, and maintenance work will start on October 4. The refinery will be fired up • again in late November. No petroleum supply problems are expected during the shut-down, which is done every two years. Mr Frank Jacombs, general manager of the New Zealand Refining Company, Ltd, said he expected no problems with normal maintenance work. However, probably only about half the revamping work the company and expansion jifoject
contractors hoped to do would be completed. The industrial relations general manager for the JV2 construction consortium doing the expansion . work, Mr Ron Richards, said that industrial trouble had caused the problem. The constortium had hoped to bring in Australian welders under contract to do revamping work this year. However, the Federation of Labour and unions would, not approve consortium plans to bring in the Australians, said Mr Richards. .
