GavinHOST
that was not taken into consideration.
DaveHOST
And yes, the Saudis have been able to send oil through the Sumed pipeline.
DaveHOST
So they're still exporting oil to the European countries.
DaveHOST
But still, oil prices have gone up significantly.
Elizabeth KayserHOST
But again, it feeds Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon right there.
Elizabeth KayserHOST
Okay, and then you've got the SUMED pipeline.
Elizabeth KayserHOST
And again, I'm gonna go ahead and enlarge this so you can read it.
Elizabeth KayserHOST
The SUMED pipeline.
Elizabeth KayserHOST
And then again, underneath that, you've got, and now I'm just wanna show you a little bit on the map.
Elizabeth KayserHOST
So I don't wanna get too detailed, too weedy here, but some of you might be interested in this because you can find it on YouTube.
Elizabeth KayserHOST
And this one is between two and two and a half million barrels per day.
Elizabeth KayserHOST
So, the SUMED is the workaround.
Elizabeth KayserHOST
is the workaround for the secondary maritime choke point.
Elizabeth KayserHOST
Remember, the first choke point is the Strait of Hormuz.
Richard MeadeGUEST
Certainly, you have seen a major diversion of Saudi-affiliated ships, uh, going through the Red Sea because they are a direct target, uh, and a stated target of the, of the Houthis.
Richard MeadeGUEST
And as a result, we've seen a lot of the ships that were previously picking up cargoes on Saudi's west coast via the pipeline having to go up north through the Red Sea and load their cargoes onto what's called the Sumed, uh, pipeline to get it through the Suez Canal.
Richard MeadeGUEST
It's then picked up, uh, in the Mediterranean, then goes on to market.
Richard MeadeGUEST
Again, massively inefficient and huge disruptions.
Tom ReedHOST
And yeah, we don't seem to be seeing that.
Tom ReedHOST
You know, we've seen these headlines about more crew going through it, but not necessarily a greater amount of crew being moved north up through Egypt and the Sumed Pipeline into the Mediterranean.
Tom ReedHOST
And in fact, Aramco increased its crew prices for Europe and it's flooding Hormuz with crew.
Tom ReedHOST
Am I reading too much into this, or is there perhaps a reason why Saudi wouldn't want to maximize its westbound exports yet? Are we sure that the east-west pipeline is back up and running?
Nader ItayimGUEST
The future for us is redundancy, is diversification of our export routes.
Nader ItayimGUEST
Right now, they have these three routes that they talk about, which is obviously, you know, Strait of Hormuz, Red Sea and South, through Davulunanda, then Red Sea and North with the Sudas Canal.
Nader ItayimGUEST
our Sumed pipeline.
Nader ItayimGUEST
He mentioned that they're working on two more, you know, export routes.
