Khaled Ghulam, Director of the Media Office at the National Oil Corporation (NOC), told Libya Herald yesterday that the resumption of LPG tanker arrivals at the Marsa al-Brega port, after a hiatus since 2017, represents a significant strategic step towards stabilizing supplies in the local market.
Ghulam explained that the arrival of the tanker “Gas Houston” yesterday, carrying approximately 1,000 metric tons of cooking gas, was the result of direct instructions and continuous follow-up from the Chairman of the NOC, Masoud Suleiman, and coordination between Brega Oil Marketing Company and Sirte Oil Production and Manufacturing Company.
He added that technical teams successfully completed comprehensive maintenance and upgrades to the port’s infrastructure, including gas storage tanks, loading lines, and transportation systems, in addition to implementing technical improvements to enhance safety standards and operational efficiency.
Ghulam emphasized that this step has positive economic repercussions, most notably reducing transportation and supply costs, improving the stability of cooking gas availability, and increasing the sector’s efficiency and enhancing its ability to meet citizens’ needs, thus supporting the national economy and mitigating crises related to supply shortages.
