An 80,000 metric-ton cargo of Libyan crude is being offered for shipment from the western port of Mellitah this month, according to three people with direct knowledge of the transaction.
The oil, equal to about 600,000 barrels, will be loaded from Sept. 15 to 17, the people said, declining to be identified because the consignment has not been publicly announced. Libya wants to resume crude exports in two to three weeks, Guma El-Gamaty, the U.K. coordinator for the country’s National Transitional Council, said in an interview in London today.
