NOC declares force majeure as Libyan loadings blocked

Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC) has said it is losing 850,000 barrels per day of crude production due to a ports blockade by the Libyan National Army (LNA).

The situation has caused it to declare force majeure on loadings at Hariga, Zuetina, Es Sider and Ras Lanuf.

"Despite warning from NOC of the consequences of ongoing blockades, Libyan National Army (LNA) general command has declined to rescind its order that no vessel be allowed to port to receive allocated shipments," it said.
