Saudi Arabian Petro Rabigh shut its 600,000 tons/year PP plant for 55 days by around mid-October. The plant was to resume production by late January with a slight delay. Traders in Turkey have been reporting that they were not able to receive any offers from the supplier since November.
Another Saudi Arabian PP supplier, Saudi Arabia’s National Petrochemical Industrial Company (Natpet) shut its propylene and PP complex in Yanbu on January 11 because of a technical issue. The restart of the 400.000 tons/year plant was planned for the second half of January.
