The number of oil tankers anchored in Saudi Red Sea ports has risen to 10 vessels as of October 15, with seven tankers, including three supertankers, at the ports of Yanbu and Al Khafji, compared to just three tankers on October 10. This increase in loading operations comes after the resumption of oil flow through the East-West pipeline following a two-week shutdown, with flows reaching approximately 5.8 million barrels per day, according to the Saudi Ministry of Energy. Satellite imagery is being used to monitor Gulf oil exports amid ships sailing with Automatic Identification System (AIS) transmitters turned off to avoid Iranian and Houthi attacks. Despite the escalation in attacks, Saudi oil exports maintained high levels early in October, averaging 5.31 million barrels per day, although this was a decrease from September’s record high of around 7.12 million barrels per day.
