Libya turns away oil tanker, citing prior Israel shipment
15 November 2023; MEMO: Libya turned away an oil tanker that was due to load a cargo from one of its ports, after the vessel previously performed a voyage to Israel, Bloomberg reports.
According to the report, the “Proteus Philippa” arrived near Mellitah in western Libya two days ago.
The vessel was set to load 600,000 barrels, but was asked to leave because it previously moved barrels to Haifa in Israel.
