Operations at Turkey’s oil terminal in Ceyhan halted after a major earthquake struck nearby early on Monday, Reuters reported, citing the Tribeca shipping agency. Officials said that an emergency meeting will take place on the issue.
Turkey’s pipeline operator BOTAS said there were no damages on main pipelines.
In a notice, Tribeca said ports in southeastern Turkey are affected by the quake and that delays in operations are reported.Â
The quake, of magnitude 7.8, struck southern Turkey and northwest Syria early on Monday, killing more than 500 people and injuring hundreds as buildings collapsed across the region, triggering searches for survivors in the rubble.Â
