Raysut Cement suspends production after Cyclone Mekuna damage

Raysut Cement will shut down production in Oman for up to 10 days after the Tropical Cyclone Mekuna hit the company's Salalah factory on 25 May.

Heavy rain and strong winds caused "external damage" and waterlogged the company's production facilities and stock yard.

Raysut Cement's CEO, Joey Ghose, said the company's buildings had been battered by Cyclone Mekuna for two days. He said it was unclear how extensive the damage was, but added that Raysut insurers had been contacted over the issue.

"We will disclose the losses when it is available, and after loss evaluation and quantification [has been completed]," Mr Ghose said.
