Fuel deliveries and distribution continue around the clock across Libya

Fuel is continuing to move through Libya’s depots and ports around the clock, even as petrol queues remain in parts of the country. Brega Petroleum Marketing Company said operations are continuing at several sites during a summer fuel crisis compounded by power cuts.

Tripoli and some other cities are faring better, but parts of western and eastern Libya still face long lines at petrol stations. Distribution companies drew 11.955 million litres of petrol from Tripoli Seaport over the past 24 hours.

At the Zawia Oil Depot, withdrawals reached about 1.11 million litres of petrol and 773,400 litres of diesel. Forty-two stations in the West Coast and Mountain regions received an additional 940,000 litres of petrol and 240,000 litres of diesel, while the Southern Region received 750,000 litres of fuel.

In Misrata, the depot planned to distribute about 5 million litres of petrol and 2 million litres of diesel on Friday to distribution-company and Brega stations. It also planned to provide 500,000 litres of diesel to the Misrata Power Plant. The programme coincided with the unloading of the tanker TURKELI.

Brega said the tanker MT SARIYAH had docked at the oil terminal at Tobruk’s Al-Hariga Port with about 32,000 metric tons of petrol for the Eastern Region. Fuel deliveries from the Tobruk depot to Derna and unloading and distribution operations at other locations were also continuing.
