ISTANBUL: Operations at Turkey's oil terminal in Ceyhan halted after a major earthquake struck nearby early on Monday, the Tribeca shipping agency said, adding that an emergency meeting will take place on the issue.

Turkey's pipeline operator BOTAS said there were no damages on main pipelines.

In a notice, Tribeca said ports in southeastern Turkey are affected by the quake and that delays in operations are reported. (Reporting by Can Sezer; Editing by Jonathan Spicer)
