Saudi Arabia’s key oil storage sites are rapidly filling due to the Strait of Hormuz closure, disrupting critical export routes, per geospatial analytics firm Kayrros. The Ju’aymah terminal on Saudi Arabia’s east coast is nearing full capacity as of March 1, with minimal spare storage remaining, according to Kayrros’ analysis. Four of six tanks at the Ras Tanura refinery—halted after recent Iranian attacks—are already full, exacerbating storage constraints amid the export blockade. The disruption follows escalating tensions with Iran, which has effectively shut down Hormuz shipping, forcing Saudi Arabia to stockpile oil domestically. The crisis highlights vulnerabilities in global oil supply chains, as geospatial data reveals real-time impacts on storage infrastructure and export capabilities.
