About This Seaport
Built by Esso in 1970 as one of the world's first LNG export plants, Marsa el Brega (LY MBR) on Libya's Gulf of Sidra has seen its four-train liquefaction complex — nominally about 3.2 million tonnes a year — sit idle since the 2011 civil war. The site today functions as a pure hydrocarbon and petrochemical terminal, shipping crude oil, ammonia, methanol and refined products, but no containers or conventional general cargo. Three sealine berths, a products quay and dedicated liquefied-gas, acid, methanol and ammonia jetties handle the traffic. Operations are run by the Sirte Oil Company, a subsidiary of the state National Oil Corporation. There is effectively no commercial hinterland gateway here for trade goods; the port serves the export industry alone. For containers, breakbulk or project cargo, Misrata — Libya's principal container port — and Benghazi are the practical alternatives.
