Operations at Turkey's oil terminal in Ceyhan halted after a major earthquake struck nearby early on Monday, the Tribeca shipping agency said, adding that an emergency meeting will take place on the issue, Reuters reports.
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.
An official of the Turkish energy sector told Reuters that the Kirkuk-Ceyhan and Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipelines carrying oil from Iraq to Turkey were not damaged by the earthquake, and the flow of oil continues through both of them.
