Libya’s crude oil loadings from the eastern al-Hariga and Zweitina export terminals were reported to have been suspended with the daily loss of 850,000 barrels of oil production, writes Nassir Shirkhani.

Tripoli-based National Oil Corporation (NOC) declared force majeure after the seizure of the ports by renegade military strongman Khalifa al-Haftar.

The “National Oil Corporation has declared force majeure on crude oil loadings at al-Hariga and Zweitina oil terminals”, the company said.
