YanbuSaudi Arabia resumed Red Sea crude loadings after an 11-day pipeline shutdown.
Yanbu ships crude around Hormuz, where the US war with Iran has throttled oil shipments.
Drone attacks Saudi Arabia blamed on the Houthis shut the pipeline on 11 September, and it restarted 22 September.
Throughput is 2m to 2.65m barrels a day, far below the pipeline’s 7m capacity, industry and Kpler estimates show.
Kpler expects 3m to 4m barrels a day soon and a full return to 5.5m in about a month.
