Loading on a tanker at the Ceyhan terminal in Turkey has been restored for the subsequent shipment of Caspian oil delivered via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline to world markets.
Oil shipment from Ceyhan was suspended on February 6 by Botas International Limited (BIL), which is the operator of the Turkish section of the BTC and the terminal in Ceyhan, due to earthquakes in Turkey.
The Ceyhan terminal has 7 oil storage tanks, each with a capacity of 1 million barrels. The daily throughput capacity of the BTC pipeline is 1.2 million barrels.
