CHICAGO, Sept. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Century Aluminum announced today the resumption of normal shipping operations at Jamalco's Rocky Point port following the completion of Hurricane Beryl-related repairs to the port.

"I want to thank our entire Jamalco team who rose to the occasion following Hurricane Beryl and successfully completed these repairs safely and with a disciplined focus on execution," said Century's President and CEO Jesse Gary.

In Iceland, local geothermal energy companies issued partial power curtailment orders across their industrial customers, including the Company's Grundartangi smelter, for required maintenance activities. These curtailments are expected to reduce Grundartangi's production by approximately 2,500 MT in the third quarter.
