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.
