There are signs the alliance moved closer this weekend to reaching an agreement with the African producers, who are aiming for higher quotas, four OPEC+ sources told <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/markets\/commodities\/opec-moving-closer-compromise-with-african-producers-sources-say-2023-11-24\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The <\/strong><strong>Middle East\u2019s diesel exports to Europe fell to an 11-month low at an average<\/strong><strong>of 248k barrels a day (bbl \/ d) in October<\/strong>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hellenicshippingnews.com\/middle-east-diesel-exports-to-europe-slump-on-refinery-disruptions-us-supplies\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Platts<\/a> reports. The drop comes off the back of refinery disruptions \u2014 including at Saudi Arabia\u2019s Satorp refinery and Kuwait\u2019s Al Zour facility \u2014 due to maintenance and a rise in supplies from the US and India.

Shipping data obtained by the news outlet shows that a carrier has docked at Idku, though its destination remains unknown.

The move comes as domestic demand is expected to rise as Morocco prepares to host the 2030 World Cup, in a joint bid with Spain and Portugal. Morocco\u2019s domestic flight market is currently limited to the national carrier Royal Air Maroc and private-owned UAE-affiliated Moroccan company, Air Arabia. <\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/aviation\/\">AVIATION<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/investment-watch\/\">INVESTMENT WATCH<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/morocco\/\">Morocco<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/tag\/uae\/\">UAE<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"75097\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"75097\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Aviation<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2023\/11\/27\/icao-summit-in-dubai-sets-5-emissions-reduction-target-for-aviation-by-2030\/\">\r\n                            ICAO summit in Dubai sets 5% emissions reduction target for aviation by 2030                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2023\/11\/27\/icao-summit-in-dubai-sets-5-emissions-reduction-target-for-aviation-by-2030\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) and low carbon aviation fuels (LCAF) are expected to be the largest contributors towards achieving the goal, the statement said. An earlier draft statement had tabled a more ambitious 5-8% emissions reduction target, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/sustainability\/un-led-talks-weigh-goal-reduce-aviation-emissions-thorough-less-polluting-fuels-2023-11-24\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Reuters<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>SOUND SMART-<\/strong>Aviation accounts for around 2-3% of global carbon emissions.
