First Libyan Oil Shipment to UK.
Pulbished on:
Al Breiga, 17 January 2017(Lana) A tanker carrying 631000 barrels
of crude left Al Breiga terminal on Saturday for the United Kingdom,
in the first oil shipment to the United Kingdom since 2011.
The crude loading from the terminal was halted for 10 days
following defective loading pipe on the floating platform which
required maintenance work that apparently was not carried out since
2008.
The terminal's head of Loading and Utilities Department Abdullah
Al Tarhouni said due to bad weather and the loading gauge problem the
loading of tanker had to be delayed.
He thanked personnel at the terminal who he said did their best
to resume the loading singling out workers of Al Harouj Oil Co. which
provided 3 divers who carried out the job.
