Loadings of Forties crude at Hound Point terminal in Scotland have resumed, a spokesman for Ineos, operator of the Forties pipeline, said on Friday.
 
"At the moment, sailings from Hound Point have re-commenced," spokesman Richard Longden said, adding that a vessel had sailed on Thursday.
 
Ineos had said on Thursday that loading was temporarily postponed due to adverse weather conditions.
 

Forties is one of five North Sea crudes which underpin the Brent benchmark.
