# Bouri Oil Field (LY BOU)

**UN/LOCODE:** LY BOU

**Harbor Size:** Very Small  
**Harbor Type:** Open Roadstead  
**GPS:** 33.9000, 12.6500

The UN/LOCODE LY BOU does not denote a conventional harbour but Bouri, Libya's largest offshore oil field, in Block NC-41 about 120 km north-west of Tripoli. Operated by Mellitah Oil & Gas, a joint venture of Libya's NOC and Italy's Eni, the field produces through two platforms (DP3 and DP4) and several subsea wells, with crude offloaded directly into tankers from the FSO Gaza (capacity around 1.5 million barrels). There is no onshore port, no container or breakbulk handling and no commercial customs gateway here – it is purely an offshore crude-loading point. For forwarders, Bouri carries no practical cargo relevance. General and project freight for Libya moves through Tripoli or Misurata instead.
