Daily crude loadings at Saudi Arabia's Red Sea port of Yanbu are close to maximum levels this week, according to data and industry sources. Shipments from Yanbu reached 4.7 million barrels per day around July 13, up from 3.36 million bpd around July 10 and broadly in line with 4.6 million bpd around July 2, according to Signal Ocean data. Loadings have averaged above four million bpd since June, compared with 973,000 bpd around the same period 2025, the data showed. Kpler data also show daily loadings averaging around four million barrels in recent weeks. Saudi Arabia has relied increasingly on Yanbu to export crude amid disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz during the US-Iran conflict.
