A Qatari LNG cargo bound for Poland is sailing north through the Red Sea toward the Suez Canal, a rare run on the shortest but riskiest route to Europe. EU gas storage is only 74% full vs. over 86% a year ago. #LNG#Qatar#Europe#RedSea
Middle East energy risks are shifting toward Bab el-Mandeb as Houthi forces expand control near the key Red Sea chokepoint. Shipping through the strait is already sharply reduced, adding another threat to oil and fuel flows. #Oil#RedSea#EnergySecurity
Sudan could become the Red Sea’s next energy-security flashpoint. Port Sudan handles fuel imports and Sudanese and South Sudanese oil exports, while drone and sanctions risks threaten an already strained corridor. #Sudan#Oil#RedSea#EnergySecurity
Houthis targeted Saudi tanker Amzan off Yanbu with ballistic missiles and drones, escalating their “siege for siege” campaign. The attack threatens a Red Sea export route Saudi Arabia increasingly relies on as Hormuz remains disrupted. #Oil#RedSea#SaudiArabia
Saudi crude tankers are increasingly switching off transponders to cross Bab el-Mandeb as Houthi threats persist. At least five vessels were berthed at Yanbu Saturday, while others reroute via Egypt. #Oil#SaudiArabia#RedSea#Shipping
