Inside the refinery restart: what workers say

For the first time in years, the old refinery is processing crude oil again, at about a third of its full capacity.

Workers describe a slow, careful restart, with each unit tested before the next is switched on. "Nobody wants to rush this," said a shift supervisor.

Managers say the refinery will reach half capacity by the end of the quarter if tests go well.

Fuel marketers hope local supply will mean fewer shortages. Analysts caution that one refinery alone cannot meet national demand.

The refinery is expected to supply mostly diesel and kerosene at first, with petrol to follow.
