Thailand’s PTT to restart LDPE plant following emergency shutdown

It is reported that PTT Global Chemical Public Co Ltd would be able to resume operation at its LDPE units by 17 March 2020 following an emergency shutdown during mid of February 2020. 

The unit is designed to produce 400,000 tons/year and has been shut longer than expected, which players attributed to the draught issue in Thailand recently. 

As mentioned in the previous report, the maker is unable to supply LDPE cargoes to regional buyers throughout March due to the shutdown. Offers would be resumed for April shipment.
