Saudi Crude Exports Bypass Hormuz via STS Transfers as East-West Pipeline Stays Offline

Saudi Arabia is loading up to 60 million barrels of crude at Ras Tanura for September-October delivery via ship-to-ship transfers at Sohar, Oman, circumventing the Strait of Hormuz. This follows a forced halt of the East-West pipeline, indicating a sustained disruption to Saudi export capacity. The move underscores elevated risk in the Gulf and may tighten global crude supply.
