Yara reduces ammonia production in first quarterOslo (2005-02-03): Yara has decided to keep the Porsgrunn ammonia plant down after a recent maintenance turnaround. The timing of the plant restart will depend on market conditions. Additional planned maintenance turnarounds will be taken in Trinidad (Tringen II) and at the Le Havre plant in France during February and March resulting in total production cuts of approximately 150,000 tonnes of ammonia during first quarter 2005. The production cuts amount to approximately 10% of Yara's ammonia capacity.
