LIBYA’S TRIPOLI PORT HALTS OPERATIONS AS CLASHES ESCALATE

Operations at Libya’s UN-backed government-controlled Tripoli port have halted amid escalating violence, with vessels diverting and oil majors evacuating. No arrivals have been tracked since May 13 as clashes disrupt the area. Hapag-Lloyd suspended all calls, citing security risks. Oil firms evacuated staff over the weekend with private security support, sources told Lloyd’s List. A fragile ceasefire has failed to prevent renewed fighting.
