Oil tanker Basilis L amid Lebanon tensions
The Lebanese Ministry of Energy and Water clarified that the delay in unloading the oil tanker "BASILIS L" was due to technical and administrative circumstances, and not as claimed by Deputy Shibl Maroun, who accused the ministry and deliberately misled public opinion. A diesel purchase contract was signed in February 2026, with the vessel valued at approximately $50 million, and it was unloaded in July after facing several financial and administrative challenges, including delays in transferring funds and banking restrictions by Banque du Liban. The ministry emphasized that all procedures were carried out legally and transparently, and that the obstacles were caused by wartime conditions and the economic situation, while Deputy Maroun continues to attempt linking the unloading delay to political criticisms.
