Shafaqna English- An oil tanker from Saudi Arabia carrying 650,000 barrels of crude oil has arrived at Syria’s Baniyas port.
State-run Alikhbariah TV said the shipment is “the first of its kind, provided as support to the Syrian government.”
Earlier on Monday (17 Nov 2025) the channel reported on a government project to build a new oil refinery to replace the old one in Homs, with a capacity of 150,000 barrels per day.
The old refinery is located about 7 kilometers (4.35 miles) west of the city, while the new one is being constructed around 50 kilometers (31 miles) east of Homs.
