Libya’s Zawiya port exported its first crude cargo this month after flows were restored from oilfields that supply the terminal.
The nation, which canceled deliveries from several other ports because of protests by guards, shipped a 700,000-barrel cargo from the terminal yesterday, Mansur Abdullah, the oil movement coordinator at the Zawiya refinery, said by phone today. The shipment is destined for Repsol SA in Spain. A second vessel is loading 800,000 barrels, he said. The port had stopped exporting since Aug. 29, even though it was open for operation.
