UPDATE 1-BP Azerbaijan confirms force majeure on Azeri crude shipments from Ceyhan

(Adds detail) BAKU, Feb 8 (Reuters) - BP Azerbaijan declared force majeure on Azeri crude shipments from the Turkish port of Ceyhan on Feb. 7, a company spokesperson confirmed on Wednesday. The notice was issued to oil shippers following a temporary suspension of loading operations from the Ceyhan Marine Terminal (CMT), BP Azerbaijan spokeswoman Tamam Bayatly told Reuters by email.

A massive earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria early on Monday had

halted operations at Ceyhan and stopped key crude oil flows from Iraq and Azerbaijan.

BP Azerbaijan operates the Azerbaijan and Georgia sections of the Baku-Tblisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline.
