Libya’s Zueitina loads first crude export cargo since 2015
A tanker loaded the first crude export cargo at Libya’s Zueitina oil terminal since late last year, a port official said. Zueitina is one of three previously blockaded ports in Libya’s oil crescent region that reopened last month after forces loyal to eastern commander Khalifa Haftar took control of the terminals. The port official said the Ionic Anassa was loading 800,000 barrels of oil for export to China. The reopening of Zueitina, Ras Lanuf and Es Sider has helped boost Libya’s oil production, which had been slashed to a fraction of the 1.6 million barrels per day (bpd) that the OPEC member was producing before its 2011 uprising.
Tanker loads at Zueitina for first time in nearly a year
Cairo: Libya has restarted oil exports from the eastern port of Zueitina after 11-month suspension and is also testing a pipeline to restart exports from Hariga port. The first tanker in almost a year loaded crude from the eastern port of Zueitina on Sunday. The Greek-registered tanker left for Italy yesterday evening after loading 750,000 barrels of oil, Reuters reported. [gulfshipnews 23/02/15]
First tanker docked at Libya's Zueitina port
Libya's eastern Zueitina oil port received late on Thursday its first tanker of crude since reopening after nearly ten months due to protests, state-run National Oil Corp (NOC) said. The tanker would load one million barrels of crude, NOC spokesman Mohammed El Harari said. According to shipping sources, Austria's OMV had chartered the Ottoman Tenacity. A second tanker would load crude on May 5 and a third one after that, Harari said. NOC lifted force majeure on the port on April 28 following a recent deal with federalist protesters to reopen the smallest two of four blocked eastern ports. Source: Reuters
