North Sea Crude-No Forties traded amid shutdown, loading delays

Published December 14, 2017 Updated December 14, 2017 09:08pm

Deliveries of crude oil through the Forties pipeline are under force majeure for the first time in decades and operator INEOS said on Thursday there was no timeline yet for repairs that could last several weeks.

No Forties traded in the Platts window amid uncertainty over loading dates. Cargoes that had been scheduled to load from this week will be delayed, trade sources said.
