Shell lifts its first crude cargo from Libya in five years - industry sources

DUBAI (Reuters) - Royal Dutch Shell (L:RDSa) has lifted a cargo of 600,000 barrels of crude oil from Libya's Zueitina port, its first from the war-torn north African country in 5 years, two industry sources told Reuters on Saturday.

"Libya is a significant resource holder and Shell International Trading and Shipping Company Ltd (STASCO) has a history marketing Libyan crudes," a Shell spokesperson said.
