Brega Petroleum Marketing Company is sustaining round-the-clock fuel receipt and distribution across Libya, as the country faces persistent fuel shortages and power outages, with regional disparities in supply and ongoing logistical challenges.
Brega Petroleum Marketing Company has confirmed that its fuel receipt and distribution operations are continuing 24 hours a day across Libya, as the country endures a prolonged fuel crisis exacerbated by widespread power cuts. The company's efforts are aimed at stabilising supply in a context where some cities, such as Tripoli, have seen improvements, while other areas in both western and eastern Libya continue to experience long queues at petrol stations.
According to Brega, distribution companies withdrew a total of 11.955 million litres of petrol from Tripoli Seaport in the past 24 hours. At the Zawia Oil Depot, withdrawals reached approximately 1.11 million litres of petrol and 773,400 litres of diesel. The company also supplied 42 stations in the West Coast and Mountain regions with an additional 940,000 litres of petrol and 240,000 litres of diesel, while the Southern Region received 750,000 litres of fuel.
Regional Supply Efforts and Logistical Coordination
In Misrata, Brega aims to distribute around 5 million litres of petrol and 2 million litres of diesel to both distribution company stations and Brega stations on Friday. Additionally, 500,000 litres of diesel are being allocated to the Misrata Power Plant, as part of a continuous 24-hour operational programme that coincides with the offloading of the tanker TURKELI. In the east, the tanker MT SARIYAH has docked at Tobruk's Al-Hariga Port, carrying approximately 32,000 metric tons of petrol to reinforce supplies for the Eastern Region. Fuel deliveries to Derna from the Tobruk depot are also underway, alongside ongoing offloading and distribution at multiple sites.
Persistent Challenges and Power Outages
Despite these efforts, fuel shortages remain acute in several regions, with logistical bottlenecks and infrastructure constraints contributing to uneven supply. The situation is further complicated by ongoing power outages, which have affected both fuel distribution and daily life. The General Electricity Company of Libya (GECOL) recently reported handling nearly 10,000 power outage incidents in a single day, highlighting the scale of the challenge facing the country's energy and fuel sectors. For more on the electricity situation, see this report on GECOL's response to widespread outages.
What to Watch Next
As Brega continues its 24-hour operations, the effectiveness of these measures in reducing fuel queues and stabilising supply across Libya will be closely monitored. The ability to maintain consistent deliveries amid infrastructure and power constraints will remain a key factor in addressing the ongoing crisis.
