Kuwait: All oil tanker traffic in and out of Kuwaiti ports came to a halt yesterday as the country's customs union went on a strike, Reuters has
reported, citing two shipping sources. "All vessel movements in and out of Kuwaiti ports are suspended," a shipping source said, adding that at least five oil tankers were waiting to depart from Mina Al Ahmadi port, which handles the bulk of Kuwait's oil exports. Kuwait Petroleum Co (KPC) is trying to secure staff not taking part in the strike, in order to complete clearance documents for the shipments, the report quoted an unnamed oil official as saying.
