Qatar’s Qapco declares force majeure on LLDPE output

In an official letter to its customers in Southeast Asia, Muntajat – the sole marketing and distribution arm for Qatar Petrochemical Company (QAPCO) declared a force majeure on LLDPE shipment due to an unexpected shutdown at the production line on 3 May 2020.

The LLDPE line is expected to remain off-line until 12 May 2020.

“We are unable to quantify the impact of the shutdown on the overall supply condition at the moment. However, the unplanned stoppage significantly impacted and prevented our ability to meet our delivery obligations,” said the letter.
