About 2BAYS

2BAYS is a government-owned company (NV) responsible for leasing out the port industrial sites in Schottegat and Bullen Bay.

We see the global energy transition bringing tremendous opportunities to Curaçao. We have, therefore, designed a long-term strategy for developing sustainable value chains in the port's industrial area. Our previous name (Refineria di Kòrsou), which no longer reflects our mission, vision, and core activities, has been changed to 2BAYS. This refers to the two bays around which our activities as landlords are being developed.

As a landlord, 2BAYS aims to be the driving force behind the energy transition in the Industrial Port of Curaçao. On this page you find more information about our Sustainability Roadmap.

2BAYS is owned by the Government of Curaçao.

As a landlord, we can help you select the plot of land best suited to establishing or developing your business. We can provide guidance on the procedures for accessing permits and other services. This will help you experience a ‘soft landing’ in Curaçao, which we refer to as our ‘green carpet treatment.’ We are committed to giving you access to the facilities and assets that will help your business thrive.

2BAYS's primary role is as a landlord, transforming our assets into a sustainable industrial port area. We do not actively invest in the companies leasing our land. However, we may be able to connect you with parties within the Industrial Port of Curaçao network who are active investors.

The global energy transition seeks to transform fossil-based economies into sustainable ones. Curaçao has a century of industrial experience in the Oil & Gas business. The global energy transition offers us a unique opportunity to advance into a sustainable future. While we are repurposing our facilities for the use of sustainable industries, our Oil & Gas assets will continue to operate for as long as required. This will be in line with the most recent industrial and environmental standards and regulations.

With over 35 years of experience as an industrial landlord, we have a clear understanding of what is needed to make your business thrive. If your interest lies in Sustainable Energy & Resources, Port & Logistics, Light Industry & Food, or Island Needs value chains, we invite you to contact our Chief Development Officer Sander Rijsdijk, at s.rijsdijk@2BAYS.com

We enable and promote sustainable economic development by connecting people, businesses, and institutions. We thus bring together the knowledge, expertise, and ambition needed to create sustainable economic value.

The mandate of the government of Curaçao is to reopen the refinery. Presently, 2BAYS started the first phase of operation of the refinery with a 5-year contract to operate the asphalt train with Global Management Group. 2BAYS, at the same time, is in negotiation with Oryx Petroleum for a long-term lease contract for the management and operation of the refinery at Emmastad and the terminal in Bullen Bay. It is difficult to indicate a specific date for the start of the operations as negotiations with Oryx are still ongoing.

All the companies operating the installations owned by 2BAYS, must abide to the environmental laws and regulations of Curaçao.

The amount of fixed labor force and contracted employees working at the refinery will depend on the number of plants that will be activated in due time.
