As-Siddy Seeks Suspect Over $1M Loss

The Lebanese Ministry of Energy and Water reported that the delay in unloading the liquefied gas shipment on the vessel BASILIS L, designated for the Lebanese Army, resulted in fines amounting to $1.26 million over a period of 70 days. They clarified that responsibility is attributed to the Army leadership and Banque du Liban (the Central Bank), emphasizing that the ministry attempted to postpone the shipment due to security concerns, despite lacking the necessary funding, which led to delays in paying the fees and fines. The ministry informed the Council of Ministers after the issue occurred, aiming to assign blame to other parties, while expressing its opposition to being held responsible for the financial waste.
