Energy Ministry: DELPHI cargo unloading underway amid normal delays
The Ministry of Energy and Water in Lebanon has begun unloading the fuel oil tanker "DELPHI" after its arrival in Beirut, with a slight delay within the normal allowable margin not exceeding 12 hours and 42 minutes. The resulting fines amounted to approximately $9,500, according to the ministry. The ministry confirmed that the delay in unloading was due to routine, standard procedures and did not exceed the permitted threshold, contrary to a previous article that mentioned fines of $36,000. The unloading process started at 8:00 AM on August 18, 2026, after the documentary letter of credit was opened by Banque du Liban. The delay in connecting and unloading is not considered a significant issue in global maritime shipping operations, and the procedure aims to expedite import processes.
