Amidst a temporary halt caused by severe weather, key Libyan oil ports have resumed their export activities. Brega, Zueitina, Sidra, and Ras Lanuf, significant sites for oil shipments, started operations again on Wednesday.

Sources close to the industry revealed that the closures were prompted by safety concerns due to weather conditions. The ports ceased operations to ensure the security of the workforce and infrastructure.

Engineers have confirmed that the ports are now operating normally, assuring stability in export schedules and a return to usual business. This development is crucial for Libya's economy, heavily reliant on oil exports.
