Iraq is taking measures to resume oil exports as soon as maritime shipping normalizes, Oil Ministry spokesman Salim Rikabi said. Baghdad is finalizing procedures to designate tankers for loading Iraqi crude. Some buyers have already informed state marketer SOMO of preferred tankers and Iraq is processing those requests. SOMO general manager Ali Nizar said Iraq has recently increased volumes exported via the Strait of Hormuz, with shipments in the first half of this month reaching about 1.0 mln bpd. Tanker-tracking data show May exports from southern Iraqi ports near 98,000 bpd; the average export rate through February this year was about 3.5 mln bpd. Rikabi said oilfields will need time to return to previous production levels, but export infrastructure appears undamaged.
