The key Saudi export port of Yanbu in the Red Sea appeared to have its busiest day since Houthi threats upended shipping in the region, while more ships transited dark through the Bab el-Mandeb chokepoint. Five very large crude carriers were berthed at Yanbu’s oil-loading terminals on Saturday, according to satellite images, possibly making it the most active day since Iran-backed Houthi rebels imposed a blockade on Saudi ports two weeks ago. The photos were taken by the European Union’s Sentinel 2 satellite, which only flies over the area every few days. #oott bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
