On January
3, Royal Dutch Shell said it has completed the sale of the first phase of its
Hong Kong and Macau liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) marketing business to DCC LPG
on December 31.
“Shell
continues to operate the LPG plant in Hong Kong, which is part of the second
phase of the transaction and is subject to conditions including regulatory
approvals,” the Hague-based company said in a press release.
The sale of
Shell’s entire LPG business in Hong Kong and Macau was announced on April 5,
2017 for an agreed total transaction value of approximately $150 million.
As part of
the sale, Shell branded LPG products will continue to be available in Hong Kong
and Macau via a long-term brand license agreement with DCC LPG.
According
to Shell, the sale does not impact any of Shell’s other businesses and Shell
remains committed to helping meet growing energy demand in Hong Kong and Macau.
