Source notes for this refinery (verbatim)

Located in Martinique, a French overseas region - outside metropolitan France and outside the European mainland supply system. Flagged so that it is not summed into metropolitan French capacity. CAPACITY NOT PUBLISHED BY OPERATOR: SARA's own page gives no crude capacity, so 0.8 Mt/a comes from the UFIP-derived Connaissance des Energies list (Tier 2). Owner shares and 1969 founding are from the operator page.
