Shipping was blocked due to the war in the Strait of Hormuz, and Saudi Arabia instead exported crude oil through the Strait of Mande. According to data provided by specialized agencies, the Saudi port of Yanbu, located on the Red Sea coast, has recently reached a peak in average daily crude oil shipments. On the 14th, Reuters quoted data from Britain's Signal Ocean Company as reporting that around the 13th, crude oil shipments at Yanbu Port reached an average of 4.7 million barrels per day, an increase of nearly 40% over the 3.36 million barrels around the 10th. Since June, Yanbu Port has shipped an average of 4 million barrels of crude oil per day, compared to only 973,000 barrels per day in the same period last year. After the war broke out in Iran, in order to avoid the blocked Strait of Hormuz, Saudi Arabian National Petroleum used an east-west oil pipeline to transport crude oil produced in the Persian Gulf oil-producing region in eastern Saudi Arabia to Yanbu Port. The pipeline has a peak daily delivery capacity of 7 million barrels, of which 5 million barrels can be exported.
