NOC's Brega has failed to deliver fuel to southern Libya for three consecutive days
Fuel deliveries to southern Libya have stopped for three consecutive days, according to an official in Sebha. Major General Jamal Al-Omami, who heads the city's Reorganization Committee, said Brega Oil Marketing Company failed to meet its delivery obligations. Brega is a distribution subsidiary of the state-owned National Oil Corporation. Sebha, the largest city in the country's south, depends almost entirely on tanker convoys sent up from coastal depots. A stoppage of this length usually translates into longer queues at stations and higher prices on the informal market. Al-Omami did not spell out what caused the interruption or when shipments might resume. Southern Libya has dealt with repeated supply breakdowns in the past, often tied to funding disputes and to insecurity along desert routes. The National Oil Corporation had not responded publicly to the accusation as of the report.
