Oil cargoes are still leaving Libya, Africa’s third-largest producer, as ports mostly keep operating through an uprising against leader Muammar Qaddafi, according to Clarkson Plc, the world’s biggest shipbroker.

At least five owners of tankers carrying crude, refined oil products and liquefied natural gas reported successful loadings from Libyan ports in the past week. A majority of loadings arranged by Clarkson have gone normally, said Bob Knight, head of tankers at Clarkson in London.
