Vortexa: Saudi Arabia’s Yanbu port has exported no oil cargoes since Sept. 11
The energy-data company said crude oil exports from the Red Sea port had come to a complete halt following reported attacks on Aramco facilities.
Vortexa said no oil cargoes had departed Saudi Arabia’s Yanbu port since Sept. 11, 2026, and that crude exports from the Red Sea port had stopped completely. The report attributed the disruption to attacks on Aramco facilities and the continued closure of the East-West pipeline.
TEHRAN — Vortexa, a company specializing in energy-data analysis and maritime-tracking, said that no oil cargoes had departed Saudi Arabia’s Yanbu port since Sept. 11, 2026.
According to Iran’s IRNA news agency, citing Arab Journal, Vortexa reported that crude oil exports from the Red Sea port had been completely halted since that date.
Arab Journal attributed the disruption to recent attacks by Yemen’s armed forces on vital Aramco facilities in Yanbu. The report also said that attacks the previous Thursday had prolonged the closure of Saudi Arabia’s East-West oil pipeline, disrupting oil transportation and exports along the country’s western coast.
The source further reported that Western media had cited fuel shortages in European countries and an approximately 20% rise in crude oil prices during the month, attributing the developments to continuing tensions between the United States and Iran and the closure of the Saudi pipeline amid the conflict involving Yemen’s Houthis, also known as Ansarullah.
The reported export halt and the reasons cited for it have not been independently verified in the supplied evidence.
