  • On 15 March 2021, the Libyan Navy lifted restrictions placed on Turkish flagged ships. Turkish-flagged vessels are now permitted to trade to all Libyan ports provided legal cargo trading.
  • Vessels should report their schedules (to local port agents) 72 hours prior to arrival at any Libyan port, including a declaration of the vessel’s sailing route, whether they are loading or discharging cargo and the type of cargo on board, so that the agents can notify the appropriate authorities.
  • Vessels should avoid navigating in the coastal waters of Benghazi, Derna and Sirte, including the militarised area south of 34 00’N

NATO Shipping Centre advises:

  • NAVWARN 225/16 denotes an area bounded by the Libyan Coastline and 34-00N. Ships are advised to proceed with caution and liaise with the nearest coastal station to receive a safe track line.
  • LIBYAN NATIONAL ARMY (LNA) SELF DECLARED “NO SAIL ZONE” (NSZ): The NSZ was declared by the LNA in December 2015. The area is undefined in time and space; however, some references indicate the area stretches from DERNA to AL BAYDA on the Eastern Libyan coast and may also extend to Benghazi. It is most likely aimed at deterring the transit/smuggling of weapons and other materials to Eastern Libya.
