An oil tanker hauling crude from Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdish region left Morocco’s territorial waters without unloading, days after the same ship u-turned in the Atlantic Ocean amid a legal challenge relating to its cargo.
“The United Leadership moved into international waters yesterday upon a request from Moroccan authorities,” Nadia Laraki, director general for Agence Nationale des Ports, said by phone today. “The issue is out of our hands. It has not docked and therefore has not unloaded a single cubic meter.”
