About this indicator

Crude tanker loadings at Yanbu (King Fahd Port) — the Red Sea outlet of Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline (Petroline, ~5M bpd capacity), the main crude bypass around Hormuz. Pipeline flows are not published, so the terminal IS the measurement: when Hormuz is constrained this ramps toward capacity (observed ~4.8 mb/d, Jun 2026); a collapse means the bypass itself is offline. Terminal-level proxy — also reacts to Red Sea shipping avoidance.
