Libyan rebels may this week sell the first tanker full of crude since an uprising against leader Muammar Gaddafi fully halted exports from the North African country and sent oil prices higher. AIS showed yesterday oil tanker Equator, which can carry up to 1mn barrels of oil, was due to arrive at the rebel held east Libyan port of Marsa el Hariga today. The tanker is currently anchored in Egyptian waters. Earlier yesterday, Platts energy service said Equator was due to arrive in the rebel-held eastern Libyan port of Tobruk to load a cargo of Serir/Mesla blend crude oil.
