A planned purchase by Prax Group of Shell’s 37.5% stake in the Schwedt refinery in Germany is being delayed by “pending lawsuits by third parties,” according to a report from Reuters.
Shell Plc (LON: SHEL) agreed to sell its stake in the Schwedt refinery, a plant that supplies much of eastern Germany with fuel and has been caught up in Europe’s standoff with Moscow over the war in Ukraine.
“The acquisition marks another significant milestone for the Prax Group, and will create unique opportunities across the South African supply chain, meeting the needs of customers and communities for years to come.”
