Vessel to Asia departs Red Sea via Suez
The article discusses the movement of mega oil carriers passing through the Suez Canal amid escalating Houthi threats in the Red Sea. It highlights that the "Olimpik Lac" tanker, partially loaded with Saudi crude, has left for Asia via the longer route after changing its destination from Europe, making it likely to be the first Arab tanker to take this route following recent maritime threats. The article also anticipates that another vessel, "DHT Gazeel," which carries crude from Yanbu and is heading toward the Philippines, will follow suit, despite a significant decline in maritime traffic through these routes. It explains that fully laden supertankers cannot pass through the Suez Canal and are thus forced to offload part of their cargo at the Ain Sukhna port, then reload the oil via pipelines. This development occurs amid rising regional tensions, even though hostilities between Iran and America have paused, as the security of oil transit routes remains threatened, with implications for global energy markets.
