Hound Point VLCC jetty reopens

Oil

BP has reopened its Hound Point VLCC Jetty 1 in the North Sea on schedule following planned maintenance, Reuters reports, citing a spokeswoman for the company. Hound Point's Jetty 1 is the North Sea's key loading berth for VLCCs and as such the closure prevented Forties crude VLCC shipments from departing for Asia in May.
