Saudi Arabia restarts crude oil loadings at Yanbu port

Saudi Arabia has resumed crude oil loadings at the Yanbu terminal on the Red Sea following the partial restart of the East-West pipeline, according to trade sources and vessel-tracking data reported by Reuters. The pipeline had been shut for two weeks after drone strikes on September 10 damaged pumping stations along the route. It remains unconfirmed when full pipeline capacity of approximately four million barrels per day will be restored.
