It has ordered Judge Nancy Johnson, book load and impounded until the determination of the dispute between Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government to act on the oil resources in areas under the control of the Government of Arbil.
U.S. authorities need to implement it, to rely on companies that provide services unloading of crude oil in the region of Galveston Bay. The Iraqi government said it has contracted with a U.S. company for this purpose and it will bear the costs of transport and storage of the shipment.
The U.S. Coast Guard has agreed Monday on a tanker that can not enter the port of Galveston near Houston because of its large size the transfer of cargo through the smaller vessels for shipment to the U.S. mainland.
