A general view of the Hariga oil port and loading installation in Tobruk, Libya. A brigade from Libya’s Petroleum Facilities Guard has been protesting at the country’s Hariga port to demand salary payments and disrupting operations there, an official from state-run oil company AGOCO said yesterday. The official said the protest was interrupting work at the port, where full storage tanks have forced a stoppage of production at Sarir oilfield and a reduction at Messla oilfield. “The production of Sarir oilfield is zero because it has been closed as storage at Hariga oil port is full,” a spokesman for state-run oil firm AGOCO said. One crude tanker, Alexia, has already been waiting to load at Hariga port since Thursday last week while another, the Phoenix Beacon, was expected to arrive later yesterday to load crude, Reuters AIS Live showed and trading sources said.
