Thursday, April 21, 2016

After three years crude exports from Algeria to the US East Coast have resumed. Phillips 66 has purchased a cargo of Algerian crude oil for its Bayway refinery in New Jersey for the first time since 2013.

The Energy Century Panamax-sized vessel carrying about 433,000 barrels of Saharan Blend crude oil arrived in New York Harbor on April 18 after leaving the Algerian port of Skikda on March 29, according to Reuters Eikon shipping data.

BP was listed as the charterer on the shipping records.
