据道琼斯1月11日消息,利比亚石油官员周一表示,利比亚国家石油公司正试图自2014年以来首次装载储存在东部拉斯拉努夫港口的石油,因为利比亚寻求在伊斯兰国(Islamic State)发动新的袭击时保护其石油库存,并有可能向全球市场销售其中的部分石油。
上述消息公布前,拉斯拉努夫港口及其邻近的锡德尔港口上周频繁遭到极端武装组织伊斯兰国的袭击,后者点燃了七个储油罐。大火已于周末被扑灭。
利比亚国家石油公司的官员表示,希腊油轮Nassau Energy已接到有关装载储存在拉斯拉努夫港口的石油的指示,但目前尚不清楚安全情况是否允许进行这样的操作。根据轮船追踪网站FleetMon和Marine Traffic,这艘位于拉斯拉努夫港口外的希腊油轮正向该港口驶去。

Libya Plans Oil Loading at Eastern Port for First Time Since 2014
By Benot Faucon
Libya's National Oil Co. is trying to load oil stored at the eastern Ras Lanuf port for the first time since 2014, the country's oil officials said Monday, as it seeks to shelter the crude from new Islamic State attacks and potentially sell some of it into global markets.
The news come after Ras Lanuf, along with the neighboring Es Sider port, were repeatedly attacked last week by the radical militant group Islamic State, which set on fire as many as seven oil storage tanks. The fires were extinguished over the weekend.
The Greek tanker Nassau Energy has been instructed to load crude oil stored at Ras Lanuf though it is unclear if security conditions will allow the operation, National Oil Co. officials said. The vessel is offshore Ras Lanuf and heading to the port, according to shipping-tracking websites FleetMon and Marine Traffic.
