Libya’s National Oil Corporation (NOC) announced that the Zueitina oil terminal has temporarily resumed work, to load two tankers and allow for enough space to store the displaced volume of the crude oil.
The instructions were given to the operator “Zueitina Oil Company” to start shipping the crude to the tankers which already nearby, and “thus, the NOC announces a temporary lifting of the force majeure from the Zueitina oil terminal, with the hope that the crisis will be sorted out soon,” a statement on the company’s website read.
The shutdown is a result of widespread demonstrations and protester interference last week. The protestors in Libya are calling for Libya’s Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah to step down amid mounting tension in the months following a December announcement that presidential elections were being postponed, just days before they were set to be held.
