Century Aluminum resumes work at Jamalco joint venture in Jamaica

Century Aluminum’s (CENX) Jamalco joint venture in Clarendon, Jamaica has started work to resume production following landfall of Hurricane Melissa on Tuesday. As part of its standard hurricane preparedness plan, Jamalco preemptively curtailed production at its refinery and mines over the weekend ahead of landfall. No injuries to employees or material damage occurred at Jamalco’s refinery, mines or port operations. Jamalco expects to increase production to normal levels gradually over the next few weeks. Century does not expect the event to have a material effect on its financial results.
