Century Aluminum says Jamalco refinery back to full production following Beryl

Century Aluminum announced that its Jamalco bauxite mining and alumina production joint venture has returned to full production following the impact of the recent Hurricane Beryl in Jamaica. No injuries to employees nor significant damage occurred to Jamalco’s production facilities. Century does not expect the event to have a material effect on its financial results. While Jamalco’s production facilities escaped significant damage, the port facility was impacted by the storm, where a portion of the alumina conveyor was damaged and will need repair. The repairs are anticipated to be completed in several weeks. Jamalco has secured alternative port arrangements to ensure continued alumina shipments to its customers while the repairs to the conveyor are ongoing. The damage to Jamalco’s alumina conveyor is not anticipated to impact the refinery’s production levels, ability to receive raw materials or otherwise operate the refinery.
