A token
of appreciation to Leon Hess is well overdue
Twenty
six years after the Hess organisation laid their
roots on the island of St Lucia significant
changes and progress have been recorded. To
date the organisation has constructed some seventeen
schools all of which are standing firm and well
utilised, but apart from these significant milestones,
the nucleus of the Hess Organisation at Cul
de Sac remains alive and well.
The changes which have taken place at the Hess
facility include an extension some years ago,
but more importantly, is the new source of the
product. Originally most of the crude brought
into the complex came from the Middle East but
presently Brazil has become the number one supplier.
To date, the facility is operating at full capacity
possibly for two reasons, firstly, the nature
of the oil is energy friendly and secondly the
size of the ships entering Cul de Sac cannot
enter US waters as a result of the extended
draft of those super tankers.
