Curacao seizes PDVSA oil terminal in Dutch Caribbean over dispute

Curacao state-owned oil refinery Refineria di Korsou (RdK) on Friday seized an oil storage terminal on the Dutch Caribbean island of Bonaire over a payment dispute with Venezuela's state-run PDVSA oil firm, a RdK official said in a video statement.

Curacao will seek Dutch court approvals to sell Bonaire Petroleum Corp (BOPEC) and its 10-million barrel storage terminal if no payments are received, said Marcelino de Lannoy, managing director of RdK.
