Guards have disrupted the loading of an Onassis-owned tanker in Libya in a wage dispute.

Security consultancy Ambrey reported Petroleum Facilities Guards (PFG) staged a sit-in protest over salary arrears at the Hariga Oil Terminal in Tobruk, where the 150,000-dwt Olympic Fighter (built 2015) was attempting to take on 1m barrels of Sarir/Mesla crude.

The vessel had been chartered by China's Unipec for loading between 1 and 3 January.
