Scheduled to take place from April to June 2024, the major turnaround at Neste’s Porvoo refinery involves the temporary shutdown of the entire refinery. The primary objectives of this shutdown are to facilitate regulatory inspections, perform essential maintenance work, and undertake selected asset improvement initiatives. The estimated duration of this turnaround is approximately nine weeks.

Sami Wasström, Head of Turnarounds at Oil Products, Neste, emphasized the significance of this undertaking, stating, "The major turnaround is an investment in securing safety, availability, and competitiveness of the refinery. In addition, the turnaround will contribute to Neste’s ambition to make the Porvoo refinery the most sustainable refinery in Europe by 2030 and to reach carbon-neutral production by 2035. Together with our audited contractors, we are committed to creating a safe working environment at the Porvoo refinery and a successful turnaround."

One notable aspect of Neste's approach to the major turnaround is its emphasis on ethical and responsible practices. All contractors participating in the turnaround are required to commit to Neste's Supplier Code of Conduct, which covers various crucial areas, including human and labor rights, occupational health and safety, climate responsibility, environmental stewardship, and ethical business conduct. This commitment reflects Neste's dedication to upholding high standards throughout the duration of the turnaround.

Importantly, the company’s harbor and distribution terminal at the refinery will continue to operate normally during the major turnaround. This means that product deliveries to customers will proceed without disruptions.
