Saudi tanker fleet diverts around Africa
Six Bahri VLCCs are reported sailing away from Bab el‑Mandeb. Two signal Gibraltar, four signal South African ports, marking a rare Africa route for Saudi ships.
Risk‑on vessels enter Red Sea
Two empty VLCCs, Gabon Prosperity (Sinokor) and Rain Cubic (Chinese‑owned), enter the Red Sea via Bab el‑Mandeb, signaling Suez Canal, despite Houthi threats.
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.
