Libya said to have halted oil exports from key ports of Es Sider and Ras Lanuf

Libya is reported to have halted crude oil exports from two key ports, in a move likely to affect the aframax and suezmax tanker markets.

The National Oil Corp (NOC) is said to have informed some trading and shipping companies of force majeure restrictions at the country’s biggest oil export terminal, Es Sider, and its third-biggest, Ras Lanuf, Bloomberg reported, quoting unnamed sources.
