Saudi Arabia has resumed crude oil tanker loadings from the Red Sea port of Yanbu.

Loadings had been halted after a drone strike on 11 September hit the East-West pipeline, which carries crude from the kingdom's oil fields to Yanbu. Saudi Arabia attributed the strike to Iraqi militias.

The pipeline was restarted on 17 September and loadings followed.

Throughput is currently running at about 2 million barrels a day and is expected to rise to between 3 and 4 million in the coming days. Before the attack the line was carrying roughly 5.5 million barrels a day, against a capacity of 7 million.
