Second Supertanker Seen Loading at Saudi Oil Hub in Persian Gulf
Thursday, August 13, 2026
A second supertanker moored at Saudi Arabia's main oil export terminal in the Persian Gulf, according to observations of the facility. The development follows increased attacks on vessels transiting the Red Sea, an alternative shipping route used by Saudi oil exporters. Loadings at the Persian Gulf terminal may increase if Red Sea passage becomes less viable for tanker traffic.
