The Ministry of Oil categorically denied the circulated reports regarding the suspension of crude oil loading and exporting operations from the southern ports, confirming that workflows are continuing with complete fluidity. This clarification followed reports suggesting that an oil tanker was involved in an accidental incident due to the impact of a foreign object. Competent authorities and maritime ports indicated that the incident occurred outside the territorial jurisdiction of their ports and docks, confirming that no severe material damage or fires were recorded. As specialized committees continue their investigations to determine the nature of the fallen object, this incident highlights the critical importance of securing maritime corridors to ensure the sustainable flow of global energy supplies.
