The autonomous entity will present the measure to the union so that maintenance is carried out within a 24-hour regime.
ancap raise the offer of a “special bonus” to the workers of the Ancap Federation (fancap) so that the technical stop of the La Teja refinerywhose first stage will begin this Monday, September 4, is fulfilled in a 24-hour regime.
“The maintenance stoppages of the world’s refineries are carried out in 24-hour regimes,” said the president of ancap, Alejandro Stipanicic. Fancap’s decision to adhere to an 8-hour regime would quintuple the period in which the refinery would be stopped, which was originally planned to be 100 days.
“One day of the shutdown of the refinery costs 800,000 dollars,” said the chief, who added that “it is one thing to have the refinery shutdown for 100 days, where that is absorbed by the previous results of ancap and has the financial foresight, and something else that is multiplied by five”.
If Fancap remains firm in his position, ancap It could go from not receiving a previously scheduled 80 million dollars, to about 400 million dollars, without knowing for sure when the maintenance tasks would end.
“An eight-hour regime, if it is extended until the end of the tasks, five times the period of the shutdown refinery”, slipped Stipanicic.
Ancap will not recover its box until at least February 2024
“Our original projection was that we were going to start recovering cash in the month of December, now we know that we will not be able to recover it until at least February of next year, and that exhausted the financial back of ancap“Insisted the president of the state company.
In turn, he pointed out that the work prior to the shutdown of the refinery, corresponding to this first stage, should have been carried out in June and was not carried out due to the union’s measures.
“Let’s hope we have good signs” launched Stipanicic. “On Wednesday we will meet to talk about working conditions and to raise a special bonus to finish the work on time, I hope sanity is prime,” he concluded.
