Royal Dutch Shell Plc has announced their decision to sell off some of their businesses in the sales and marketing operations in some Pacific island nations.

The aim is to concentrate on their operations on fewer, larger scale businesses. The company is planning to sell its businesses in Fiji and Tonga to Total France SA.

In addition, they would also sell off its businesses in New Caledonia, Vanuatu and French Polynesia to joint-venture partner Albert Moux and Partners.

Shell added in a statement: “The divestment is consistent with Shell’s strategy of managing its portfolio to deliver maximum value to customers and shareholders.”
