The recent attack on two Bahri-owned VLCCs and Saudi Aramco’s halting of oil flows through the Bab el-Mandeb strait may have rattled the tanker market, but any impact on the sector is likely to be limited, says analyst Alphatanker.
The analyst notes that Saudi Aramco has stated its action was a temporary measure and, given the size of the various naval fleets patrolling the region, normal service should resume sooner rather than later.
