Nassau, Bahamas - The corporate leadership of EQUINOR SOUTH RIDING POINT in The Bahamas paid a courtesy call upon the Attorney-­‐General and Minister of Legal Affairs, the Hon. Carl  Bethel,  and  Minister  of  the  Environment  and  Housing,  the  Hon.  Romauld  Ferriera, at the Office of the Attorney-­‐General, March 18, 2021.

Since that calamitous time, with the investment of more than $200 Million Dollars and  the  training  and  employment  of  250  Grand  Bahama  residents  to  conduct  environmental  clean-­‐up  and  remediation  at  the  facility,  and  also  in  the surrounding  forestry  land,  over  the  past  year,  there  has  been  almost  complete  rehabilitation of such land and forestry.

The team from EQUINOR fully committed to the repair and upgrade of the facility, with  plans  to  re-­‐construct  fuel  storage  tanks  in  full  compliance  with  Bahamian  environmental  laws  and  regulations,  and  with  the  capacity  of  withstanding sustained  hurricane  winds  in  excess  of  200  miles  per  hour.  During  the  re-­‐construction  phase  it  is  estimated  that  between  150  and  300  workers  will  be engaged in the works of re-­‐construction.
