EconomySaudi oil delivery times to Asia could rise 2.5-fold

Saudi oil shipments to Asia would take about 100 days round trip if the Bab el-Mandeb Strait were closed, according to Japanese Shipowners’ Association data cited by Asahi. Ships would need to travel via the Suez Canal and Cape of Good Hope, raising transport costs. The usual Hormuz route takes 40 days, while Bab el-Mandeb takes 40–50 days.
