> Tankers heading into the Red Sea to take on Saudi oil are increasingly identifying Egypt and the Suez Canal as their destinations instead of Saudi ports. The practice is intended to reduce the risk of being targeted by the Houthis. Their signaling therefore masks the vessels’ actual plans to load oil in Saudi Arabia, highlighting the security pressures affecting Red Sea shipping.
