Saudi-flagged oil tankers divert from Gulf of Aden

In August 2026, six massive oil tankers flying the Saudi flag changed course and veered away from the Gulf of Aden, heading towards South Africa. This occurred amidst threats from the Houthi movement in Yemen to target Saudi shipping. The ships, which had been empty after returning from Asia, were sailing towards South Africa instead of passing through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Ship tracking data showed that the tankers altered their routes to avoid these threats, and no incidents related to crossing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait were recorded between July 20 and August 2.
