Abu Dhabi petroleum port authorities have eased restrictions on oil tankers going to and from Qatar, according to industry sources and shipping circulars seen by Reuters on Wednesday.
Abu Dhabi Petroleum Ports Authority issued a new circular on Wednesday removing previous restrictions on non-Qatar owned, flagged or operated vessels sailing to and from Qatar.
This effectively allows co-loading of crude cargoes, a Singapore-based shipbroker said.
A Middle East-based industry source said there had been no official notification on halting the co-loading of crude cargoes.
Un pétrolier provenant du Qatar où il a chargé une partie de sa cargaison peut donc venir compléter son chargement à Abou Dhabi. Sauf s’il est sous pavillon qatari, bien entendu.
But given there are few Qatari-flagged or owned vessels, this is unlikely to have as big an impact on the market as the previous circular, the shipbroker added.
