Beida and Benghazi, 30 May 2015:
Ras Lanuf port is back in operation after a three-month disruption by fighting in Libya’s oil crescent.
First tanker, coming from Turkey, delivered 5,800 tonnes of product to the port on Wednesday.
Ras Lanuf and Es-Sidra, two of Libya’s largest export terminals were closed earlier this year because of fighting between Misratan-led Libya Dawn forces and the Libyan army.
Ras Lanuf Commercial Port official Hamad Kizan said he hoped the re-opening of the port will revitalise the economy of the area, including Sidra, in part by restoring local jobs.
