Commodities trader BB Energy has loaded its first South Sudanese crude oil <\/span>cargo after the negotiation of new terms for the fuel that was meant to be delivered in 2025.<\/p>\n

BB Energy took legal action against South Sudan in the London courts last year, alleging the country had failed to deliver any oil <\/span>after it prepaid a combined $142 million for five cargoes in 2025 and one in 2024, according to legal documents seen by Reuters.<\/p>\n

In November, BB Energy allowed an injunction on one South Sudanese oil <\/span>cargo to expire in order to seek a resolution with South Sudanese authorities. South Sudan did not send a representative to that London court hearing.<\/p>\n

A 600,000 barrel DAR Blend cargo was loaded onto the tanker <\/span>Mardan from Bashair, near Port Sudan, on Saturday, according to Kpler data.<\/p>\n

CONSTRUCTIVE ENGAGEMENT WITH SOUTH SUDANESE AUTHORITIES<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for BB Energy said the shipment was “a significant and positive milestone following constructive engagement with the highest authorities at the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Petroleum”.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson said the parties jointly developed a comprehensive repayment framework and cargo delivery schedule, adding that further meetings set to take place in Juba in the coming days to finalise an agreement for the remaining shipments.<\/p>\n

BB Energy’s Chief Executive Mohamed Bassatne said the aim was to conclude a comprehensive agreement covering the remaining deliveries as soon as possible and to restore “the strong, mutually beneficial relationship that has characterised BB Energy\u2019s engagement with South Sudan for many years”.<\/p>\n
