BASRA, April 17 (Reuters) - The Malta-flagged tanker
Agios Fanourios I has anchored off Iraq's southern oil terminals
and is set to load about 2 million barrels of Basra crude, Iraqi
ports and energy sources said on Friday.
The vessel entered the Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz on
Wednesday in a second attempt to transit the waterway, after
being among several tankers that tried to enter on Sunday during
the U.S.-Iran ceasefire, the data showed.
The tanker is bound for Vietnam's Nghi Son refinery and is
expected to load crude at Iraq's southern ports, according to
shipping data and trade sources.
