A Trafigura-operated suezmax tanker is scheduled to lift Libyan crude later this week after National Oil Corp (NOC) partially lifted force majeure on the war-torn country’s exports.
The 150,000-dwt Marlin Shikoku (built 2019) is set to load 1m barrels of Sarir crude from the eastern terminal of Marsa al Hariga on Thursday, Kpler data suggests.
The vessel is one of the suezmaxes ordered by China’s Bank of Communications Financial Leasing on the back of long-term charters to Trafigura.
