Century Aluminum Sebree LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Century Aluminum Company, announced today that it was forced to temporarily stop production on one of its three potlines due to an electrical failure at the Sebree aluminum smelter. No injuries were sustained in connection with these events and the facility's other two potlines were unaffected.
Century is continuing to assess the effects of these events but expects to restore the affected potline to full production within the next three months. Century anticipates that less than 18,000 tonnes of production will be lost as a result.
Century expects that losses arising from these events, less applicable deductibles, will be covered under its insurance policies.
