Saudi Aramco Loads 14 Million Barrels of Crude on Seven VLCCs from Gulf Terminals, Ramping Up Exports Through Strait of Hormuz - Shipping Data

LONDON, Sept 21 (Reuters) — Saudi state oil company Aramco loaded about 14 million barrels of crude oil on seven VLCCs on Sunday inside the Mideast Gulf, data from TankerTrackers.com showed, as the kingdom increased loadings from Gulf export terminals after an attack disrupted crude shipments via its East-West pipeline to the Red Sea. An Aramco spokesperson declined to comment. Satellite images seen appear to show seven tankers in the vicinity of the Ras Tanura Port on Sunday.
