In its statement Monday afternoon, Carib Cement Company Limited said its investigations have revealed no damage at the plant in question, and operations are running as usual.
“Our technical team has advised that there was brief shutdown of energy, which has since normalised,” the company said.
Carib Cement thanked the public for their ongoing concern.
“We encourage everyone to remain safe in light of the recent earthquake,” it said.
