Libya’s navy impounded a tanker that was seeking to export crude from a rebel-held port, according to the national oil company, as the government battles to reassert control over its main source of revenue.
The tanker was taken from Es Sider, Libya’s biggest export terminal, to a port under government control, Mohamed Elharari, a spokesman for the National Oil Corp., said in a phone interview. The destination is Qasr Ahmed port in Misrata in western Libya, the official Lana news agency said.
