-- サイアム・セメント・グループ(BKK:SCC)は、中東情勢の緊迫化に伴う供給途絶の長期化を受け、ベトナムのロンソン石油化学プラントの操業を5月中旬頃から一時的に停止すると発表した。 タイ証券取引所への水曜日の提出書類によると、この操業停止により、月額約2億5000万バーツの固定費が発生する見込みだ。 同社は、ホルムズ海峡以遠での代替供給源確保に努めているものの、原料調達の困難がコスト増と供給継続性の低下につながっていると説明した。 SCGは、操業停止期間中、プラントのメンテナンスを実施するとともに、長期的な競争力強化を目的としたエタン原料プロジェクトの準備を進めると述べた。 また、タイのラヨンオレフィンプラントをはじめとするその他の事業は、調整を行いながら継続すると付け加えた。
