(BBC) -- Shell has declared a force
majeure on some of its customers after a fire shut down its refinery in
Singapore last week. The fire affected its diesel fuel unit but forced Shell to
shut its entire refinery, hurting its supplies. The declaration of Force Majeure
excuses a company from contractual agreements when an extraordinary event occurs
which is beyond its control. The refinery is Shell's biggest such operation
globally. The refinery has a capacity of 500,000 barrels a day.
