46 mn tons of oil cargo loaded at Iranian ports in 7 months
Figures by Iran’s Ports and Maritime Organization (PMO) show that loading of crude oil and petroleum products in the Iranian ports reached just more than 46.075 million metric tons (mt) in the seven months to October 21.
PMO figures published on Saturday also showed that the country’s ports had unloaded more than 16.233 million mt of crude and oil products in the April-October period.
The figures come amid reports showing that Iran has consistently increased its exports of crude oil and petroleum products in recent months despite a regime of US sanctions that imposes restrictions on the country’s oil sales.
PMO figures showed that loading and unloading of non-oil products in Iran’s southern and northern ports had reached a total of more than 73.246 million mt in the seven months to late October.
