September 22, Fineko/abc.az. Saudi Aramco has informally notified at least three Asian refiners that shipments from the Red Sea port of Yanbu are expected to resume shortly. Yabu operations were halted following a September 10 drone attack on the East-West pipeline, which transports nearly 4 million barrels of crude per day.

While Saudi Arabia redirected Asian exports through the Gulf port of Ras Tanura, European buyers have been hardest hit by the disruption. Aramco confirmed that no crude allocations will be made to European clients for the month of October.
