Oil Tankers Divert Around Africa to Avoid Risks in Red Sea
News - World: The number of tankers diverting on longer voyages around the Cape of Good Hope has increased to 100 from last week, according to a report from Oil Brokerage, Bloomberg reported.
The agency explained, "That’s a jump of about 45% from the firm’s count of 69 on Jan. 24. The vessels are carrying about 56 million barrels of crude and petroleum products."
According to Bloomberg, these ships carry around 56 million barrels of crude oil and petroleum products.
A few days ago, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Australian group BHP has diverted almost all of its shipments from Asia to Europe, away from the Red Sea.
Similarly, the Australian mining giant stated that the disruptions in the Red Sea "force some shipping companies to take alternative routes, such as around Africa's Cape of Good Hope, while other companies still prefer the Red Sea with additional precautions."
