Some details about the 26 tankers scheduled to load Iraqi crude from Basra Oil Terminal and Khor al-Amaya in July:
* Eight are booked for India to deliver 12 million barrels.
* Six are booked for the US Gulf Coast to deliver 12 million barrels.
* Three are headed to Spain to deliver 3 million barrels.
* South Korea, Japan, Italy, the UK, France, Turkey and China are all taking one tanker each. The cargoes vary, but are either 1 million or 2 million barrels.
* And one tanker, the 2 million barrel Bunga Katsuri chartered by Vitol, lists its destination only as “Asia,” very likely a spot cargo.
India was also Iraq’s largest lifter in June.
