The Libyan Oil Marketing Company, Brega, announced on Monday, September 28, 2026, that fuel supplies have arrived at the Sabha oil depot. According to a statement on the company's Facebook page, shipments of fuel from the port of Brega have started arriving at the depot, alongside ongoing supplies through other operational routes. This development aims to boost stockpiles and support the regular supply of fuel to stations in southern regions.
The company also reported that a tanker, KRITI CORAL, began unloading its cargo of approximately 30,000 metric tons of gasoline at the oil terminal in Benghazi on Sunday. This move is part of efforts to address ongoing shortages and complaints from citizens about long queues at fuel stations due to insufficient fuel and diesel supplies.
Brega allocated 5 million liters of gasoline to southern regions, as part of its efforts to alleviate fuel shortages. The company's statement did not provide further details on the quantities of fuel supplied or the expected duration of the shipments. However, it emphasized that these efforts aim to enhance the stability of fuel supplies in the region.
The arrival of fuel supplies at the Sabha depot is expected to improve the fuel situation in southern Libya. Residents in the region have been facing difficulties due to prolonged shortages, which have resulted in long queues and disruptions to daily life. The Libyan government has been working to address these shortages and stabilize fuel supplies.
The fuel crisis in Libya has been exacerbated by various factors, including disruptions to oil production and distribution. The country's oil infrastructure has faced significant challenges in recent years, affecting the supply of fuel and other petroleum products. Brega's efforts to import fuel and manage distribution are crucial in addressing these challenges.
The company's announcement comes as part of broader efforts to stabilize the fuel market in Libya. The Libyan government has been working to improve the supply of fuel and other essential goods, while also addressing the root causes of the shortages. International organizations and partners have also been providing support to help Libya address its fuel and energy challenges.
The resupply of fuel at the Sabha depot is a positive development for the region, which has been severely affected by fuel shortages. The company's efforts to maintain a stable supply of fuel are essential in supporting the local population and facilitating economic activities. Further updates on fuel supplies and distribution are expected as the situation continues to evolve.
