The oil terminal in Benghazi has received a new shipment of cooking gas as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen supplies and ensure market stability in eastern Libya.
In a statement, the Brega Oil Marketing Company announced that the tanker “Derna” docked at the Benghazi oil berth carrying approximately 2,300 metric tons of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
The company stated that the shipment will contribute to meeting local demand and supporting the regular distribution of cooking gas across the region.
The delivery comes within Brega’s broader supply strategy aimed at preventing shortages and maintaining steady availability of essential energy products. Cooking gas remains a vital commodity for Libyan households, and authorities have been working to secure consistent imports to avoid disruptions, particularly during periods of heightened consumption.
Earlier this month, another tanker, “Al-Tahadi,” arrived at the same terminal carrying around 1,700 metric tons of LPG. That shipment was directed toward reinforcing supplies in central and eastern areas, reflecting what officials described as a coordinated and proactive import schedule.
Brega emphasized that the continued arrival of gas shipments demonstrates its commitment to sustaining stable supply chains and responding to market needs in a timely manner. The company noted that unloading and distribution operations are being carried out in coordination with relevant authorities to ensure rapid transfer to bottling plants and distribution centers.
In recent years, Libya has faced intermittent challenges in fuel and gas distribution due to logistical constraints and fluctuations in import volumes. Officials say the structured arrival of shipments is intended to reduce pressure on local markets and minimize the risk of temporary shortages.
The company confirmed that additional deliveries are planned in the coming weeks as part of its ongoing strategy to enhance energy security and guarantee the availability of cooking gas nationwide.
