Benghazi ports update

According to reports dated 7 September 2011 from the local contact of the AKE Group (GAC’s partner in GAC Protective Solutions), security posts at the port are fully manned and all vehicles coming in and out of the main terminals are being stopped. No security incidents have been reported since mid-August. There is a steady flow of large vessels arriving at the port, with other ships moored out at sea until the infrastructure can accommodate offloading of their cargo. At Benghazi Oil Offloading port further up the coastline, no ships have been seen at the facility, although security is the same as in the city.
