Saudi Oil Tankers Alter Course Near Africa
A report from the ship tracking service "MarineTraffic" revealed that six Saudi oil tankers changed their routes due to the blockade imposed by the Yemeni Houthi group, which is supported by Iran. These tankers diverted around the African continent, adding at least two weeks to their voyage durations. The data showed that all of these vessels were empty, with some returning to Saudi ports from Asia, while others headed towards South African ports and Gibraltar. These movements occurred after the Houthis began their blockade of the Bab al-Mandeb Strait in July, with Saudi ships either avoiding the direct route through the strait or turning off Automatic Identification System (AIS) signals to evade the blockade.
