Yanbu: Shipping sources said on Tuesday that oil loadings at the Saudi port of Yanbu on the Red Sea have been suspended, days after the East-West pipeline was shut down due to an attack by the Houthis in Yemen.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, Saudi Aramco declined to comment on the suspension of oil loadings. The company had increased its use of the Yanbu terminal since the start of the US-Iranian war on February 28, making the recent shutdown a significant disruption in its operations.
