Yanbu Oil Loadings Suspended Amid Houthi Pipeline Attack

Oil loadings at Saudi Arabia's Red Sea port of Yanbu have been suspended due to an attack by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis, which also led to the closure of Saudi Aramco's East-West pipeline.

The pipeline was shut down on September 15, and since then, oil shipments from the Yanbu terminal have come to a halt. Shipping industry sources confirm that oil loadings at the terminal have been suspended.

Saudi Aramco has increased its use of the Yanbu terminal since the US war with Iran began on February 28.
