Business visit to Shell Refinery PD 2007

Venue : Shell Refining Company (Federation of Malaya) Berhad
Date : 21st June 2007
Time : 10a.m.

Recently there's a business visit organised by GFAS to Shell Refining Company in Port Dickson. Our group was the first batch to visit the Refinery Company this year and what an experience we had.

We started to gather and check in at the Lobby of TO office. Getting our beverage and sign our name in we headed to the bus waiting for us out side the parking lot. Everyone's punctual and our bus left for PD sharp on 10.30a.m.

The Trip to PD went smoothly and we reached our destination for lunch a little bit early. We are already in PD and they had organised lunch at a restaurant name Restoran Ummi Seafood Village.

The tomyam is nice, not too spicy and enough taste to last in your tongue. Ikan bakar was freshly fried over an open fire outside the restaurant.

The lunch sessions was supposed to last 1 hour and 30 minutes but we finish early. So we headed to the BEACH! Well, Beaches in PD was beautiful. It was clean and the sand is soft, but by the time we are there was just noon, so it was very very hot!



Reach Refinery way ahead of scheduled time. We are at least 15 minutes early than the appointment with SRCPD. The refinery was huge, one of the largest in Peninsula Malaysia for Shell. This refinery holds the crude oil that has been brought in by tanker ships to be sent and processed. In here, household gas and petrol are also being produced for lorry tankers to be distributed to the petrol stations. As the refinery is a hazardous place, no electronic devices can be brought in. Hence, no cameras in the area as well.
