Patriotic Energies and Technologies still wants to get its hands on Petrotrin’s refinery and is surprised by recent statements by the Prime Minister that government cannot find a buyer.
Patriotic, which was formed by the Oilfield Workers’ Trade Union (OWTU), had entered a bid for the refinery but the interest collapsed in January 2021, after their bids were rejected.
Warwick said: “We have always maintained that Patriotic remains ready, flexible and willing to enter into any agreement to safely, efficiently and cost-effective restart the refinery and put workers back to work.”
He noted: “Communities and Trinidad and Tobago will benefit. With all this high unemployment and idle human resource with an abundance of skilled and experienced workers, there can be no better time than now to restart the refinery.”
