Global nitrogen producer Nutrien Ltd is shutting down its Trinidad nitrogen operations at Point Lisas, effective tomorrow, amid a dispute with the National Energy Corporation (NEC) over $190 million (US$28 million) in alleged retroactive port fees dating back to January 2021.

Nutrien has challenged the fees, and NEC has signalled its intention to restrict the company’s access to the port.
