Bad weather still slowing Iraq Basra oil exports

BAGHDAD: Oil exports from Iraq's southern Basra terminals were still disrupted by a dust storm on Monday, with shipments cut to 1.41 million barrels per day (bpd) from 1.65 million bpd the previous day, a shipping source said.

"A dust storm is making visibility difficult for ships to reach the ports on Monday and preventing those who are berthed from leaving," the shipper said.

Exports from Iraq's southern offshore ports at the Gulf often fluctuate because of weather or technical problems.
