It serves the country's largest refinery, designed for roughly 130,000 barrels per day but lately running nearer 95,000 owing to ageing plant. After the fall of the Assad regime in late 2024 cut off Iranian oil supplies, the refinery briefly halted; since March 2025 tankers have returned, some carrying sanctioned Russian Arctic crude.
