Saudi Arabia boosts Strait alternatives
In 2026, the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz highlighted the importance of building a system of Saudi alternatives for energy flows and trade, including multi-lane pipelines, Red Sea ports, and advanced logistical services. Oil exports from the Yanbu port surged from around two million barrels per day before the crisis to over five million barrels in June 2026, thanks to the East-West pipeline that facilitates the transportation of crude to the western coast. This Saudi infrastructure helps reduce dependence on the Strait of Hormuz, which accounts for about 25% of global oil trade, and provides multiple options to enhance the resilience of supply chains during disruptions, emphasizing the importance of investing in integrated infrastructure to ensure the sustainability and continuity of the national economy.
