Saudi oil export strategy hits new hurdle as Red Sea insurance costs soar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
LONDON: The cost of insuring an oil tanker loaded from Saudi Arabia's main Red Sea port has tripled in recent weeks, industry sources told Reuters, adding to the major crude producer's struggles to find a viable channel for its exports. Saudi Arabia used its East-West pipeline to divert around 4 million barrels per day - 4% of global supply - to the Red Sea after Iran constrained Gulf exports via the Strait of Hormuz from March in response to US and Israeli air strikes. The kingdom shut the pipe
Hormuz traffic slows further after US threatens more economic pressure on Iran (opens the original)

By Jonathan Saul, Phil Stewart and Idrees Ali LONDON/PANAMA CITY, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Transit through the Strait of Hormuz appeared to grind to a near standstill on Friday after two more ships were attacked there and the United States said it could maintain a naval blockade of Iran indefinitely. A senior Iranian source said on Wednesday that there had been no progress in talks to build on a June agreement to end the war.

LONDON, Aug 12 (Reuters) - A vast oil spill from a leaking tanker has started to hit Oman's coastline, its environment agency confirmed on Wednesday, in what threatens to become one of the world’s worst in years after spreading largely unchecked for weeks.

Until U.S.-Israeli airstrikes at the end of February unleashed war in Iran, the narrow waterway between the Gulf and the Indian Ocean was the main route for about a fifth of world oil supplies and other vital goods. It was freely open to all ships w
Analysis-Drone strike in Egypt sparks security concerns about Suez oil exports (opens the original)
Read excerpt
By Jonathan Saul, Marwa Rashad and Ahmad Ghaddar LONDON, July 30 (Reuters) - A drone strike that damaged two gas tankers in Egyptian waters has renewed energy security concerns about the nearby Suez Canal and a related pipeline, a vital export route for Saudi Arabian oil since the beginning of the Iran war. Even as Iran and its Houthi allies have fired on tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb, Egypt's Suez Canal and Sumed pipeline continued to offer safe, northbound export ro
