Saudi Arabia reroutes oil exports around the Strait of Hormuz to the Red Sea

oglobo.globo.com (Portuguese) —

Saudi Arabia has restored over half its oil exports by rerouting around the Strait of Hormuz, demonstrating a successful contingency plan. The kingdom is now shipping approximately 4.19 million barrels daily via a 1,200-kilometer pipeline to Yanbu port on the Red Sea, a significant increase from previous levels. This redirection is critical as the Strait of Hormuz, vital for 20% of global oil transport, is largely closed due to the war with Iran, causing major supply disruptions.
