Saudi Aramco is still sending crude and fuel ships through the Red Sea, despite the fact that the Iran-backed Houthi militants keep attacking commercial ships in support of the ongoing Gaza War.

This note sheds light on the following key issues:
- The routes that Aramco is currently using to send oil to Europe
- MBS views on Red Sea oil facilities capacity
- The alternative land and sea corridors that MBS is eyeing
