    “Are you ready for turnaround?!”

As arriving at CCR2, Mr. Joost Emmen asked in Chinese. He told everyone that the upcoming turnaround would be tough and challenging, but also a good opportunity to remove bottlenecks, improve reliability and increase capacity. We should fully understand the extreme importance of turnaround, and go all out in the turnaround and construction work. Whether the turnaround could be completed in a safe, high quality and efficient manner was key for stable operation in the next production cycle, as well as critical for the completion of 2018 objectives and future development of the Company. We must ensure safety, quality and schedule, and secure a victory over turnaround with high-quality and efficient completion of maintenance tasks, so as to create value for shareholders and contribute to local economy development.
