沙特当局本月曾因该管道在伊朗支持的伊拉克民兵组织的无人机袭击中受损而将其停用。

Saudi authorities had taken the pipeline offline this month after it was damaged in a drone attack by an Iranian-backed Iraqi militia.

红海的油轮已开始从这条关键的沙特管道装载石油,该管道本月因在袭击中受损而关闭。

Tankers in the Red Sea have begun loading oil from a critical Saudi Arabian pipeline that was shut down this month after it was damaged in an attack.

根据海事数据公司Kpler分析的卫星图像,自周日以来,红海沿岸共有九艘油轮装载了约1250万桶原油。

A total of nine tankers on the Red Sea coast have loaded about 12.5 million barrels of crude since Sunday, according to satellite imagery analyzed by Kpler, a maritime data firm.

其中三艘油轮仅在过去的24小时内完成装载,这是东西管道(一条横跨沙特阿拉伯、长750英里的原油运输网络)至少部分恢复运行的最强有力迹象。

Three of those tankers were loaded in just the last 24 hours, the strongest indication yet that the East-West pipeline, a 750-mile network that transports crude across Saudi Arabia, was at least partly working again.

沙特当局于9月11日表示,由于伊朗支持的伊拉克民兵组织的无人机袭击,他们已将该管道停用。

The Saudi authorities said on Sept. 11 that they had taken the pipeline offline, blaming a drone attack by an Iranian-backed Iraqi militia.

Kpler中东及OPEC+洞察主管阿梅娜·巴克尔(Amena Bakr)表示:“管道已恢复运行。”

“The pipeline has resumed,” said Amena Bakr, head of Middle East & OPEC+ Insights at Kpler.

自管道遇袭以来,沙特能源部和国有石油巨头沙特阿美(Saudi Aramco)均未就管道问题发表公开声明,双方也拒绝就运营恢复一事置评。

Neither Saudi Arabia’s energy ministry nor Saudi Aramco, the state oil giant, has made any public statement on the pipeline since it was attacked, and each declined to comment on the resumption of operations.

东西管道的长期关闭威胁着大幅减少沙特阿拉伯——该地区最大的石油出口国——能够运出该地区的石油量。

An extended closure of the East-West pipeline threatened to drastically reduce how much oil Saudi Arabia, the region’s largest oil exporter, could get out of the region.

七个月前,伊朗战争实际上关闭了霍尔木兹海峡,该管道成为沙特的主要替代方案。

The pipeline became the Saudis’ main workaround when the war in Iran effectively shut the Strait of Hormuz seven months ago.

要将石油从红海港口运往全球市场,油轮必须通过红海南端的曼德海峡,或红海北端的苏伊士运河及穿越埃及的管道。曼德海峡主要由伊朗支持的胡塞民兵控制,航行极具危险性。

To get oil from Red Sea ports to global markets, tankers must transport it through the Bab al-Mandab Strait on the southern end of the Red Sea or the Suez Canal and a pipeline across Egypt at the northern end of the sea. The Bab al-Mandab Strait, largely controlled by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia, can be perilous to navigate.
