War Halts Ras Tanura Loadings
Last observed crude loading at Saudi Arabia's largest export terminal before Iran conflict escalates.
Six Bahri-owned VLCCs are bypassing the Bab el-Mandeb chokepoint for a rare Africa voyage, adding at least two weeks to crude delivery times. The Houthi-driven reroute tightens tanker capacity, raises freight costs, and forces oil importers to adjust refinery schedules and inventory buffers.
Bahri’s decision to divert six VLCCs around Africa, avoiding Houthi attacks, extends voyage days and reinforces bullish tanker market dynamics. The shift could lift VLCC spot rates and elevate risk premiums across maritime and energy sectors, presenting a structural change in oil-transport economics.
Saudi Arabia's Ras Tanura oil terminal, with capacity to load 12 VLCCs simultaneously, is restarting after a near four-month wartime shutdown. This resumption, following the US-Iran peace deal, eases global crude logistics bottlenecks and promises to lower tanker rates. Supply chain managers can expect increased crude availability and shifting shipping dynamics.
