Aramco to Load More September Oil Outside Strait of Hormuz
Saudi Aramco has offered more oil for loading outside the Strait of Hormuz in September after selling at least 4 million barrels to China this month. Shipping data cited by sources indicates cargoes were moved via tankers with trackers switched off during strait transit to evade attacks. Two supertankers transferred crude via STS off Sohar before arriving in China in mid-September, and Aramco also sold heavier grades to PetroChina and Sinochem.
