Gunvor plans to halt oil terminal activities at Europoort refinery
Gunvor will consult the works council at the refinery over its plans, the spokesperson added.
Seven months ago the company announced its intention to mothball the processing units at the refinery and use it as a terminal only.
Gunvor said the decision to mothball the terminal was taken because of an "uncertain investment climate in the Netherlands", a statement read without providing further detail.
The company added that energy transition projects it is developing at the site, including a deal with Varo to produce sustainable aviation fuel, will not be affected.

Merck KGaA raises forex-adj profit guidance on drugs, lab gear
FRANKFURT Aug 7 (Reuters) - Germany's Merck KGaA ( opens new tab on Thursday raised its full-year operating earnings guidance, excluding the effect of harsh foreign exchange headwinds, citing a strong performance at its pharmaceuticals and lab equipment businesses. In a statement, Merck predicted organic growth in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, adjusted for one-off items, of 4% to 8%, where it had previously seen a range between 2% and 7%. Cost cuts were also a driver, it added. Hit by a weak U.S. dollar that is weighing on the value of Merck's overseas revenues, second-quarter adjusted EBITDA slipped 3% to 1.46 billion euros ($1.70 billion), below an analyst consensus of 1.52 billion posted on the company's website. The company, also a maker of materials for semiconductor manufacturing, narrowed its guidance range for organic sales growth to 2% to 5%, where it had previously seen a gain of 2% to 6%. Merck in April struck a deal to buy U.S. biotech company SpringWorks Therapeutics for $3.9 billion to add rare cancer therapies ahead of expected revenue losses linked to expiring drug patents.
