A trade union official has called for a pause in plans to shut the Grangemouth refinery after casting doubts on claims made by the owner about its financial position. A senior figure at Petroineos, the joint venture that operates the plant, claimed last week that it was “not commercially viable” and reaffirmed that it is losing £385,000 a day. That put it on track for a £150m loss this year and the company plans to shut the facility next summer with 400 jobs likely to be affected.
