Oman's Mina Al Fahal Resumes Crude Loadings After Blast Delayed 800,000-900,000 Bpd Exports

Summary
Mina Al Fahal, Oman’s main crude export terminal, resumed operations after Friday’s explosion halted some loadings and forced initial shipment delays, traders familiar with the matter said.
No berths were directly damaged, allowing the port to restart Omani crude loadings that had been pushed back after the blast.
The disruption had briefly raised concern over exports from a terminal that typically handles 800,000-900,000 barrels a day and had already lifted oil benchmarks earlier Friday.
Earlier reports tied the explosion to a drone attack between SBM 1 and 2, underscoring how wider Persian Gulf tensions can jolt supply routes even outside the Strait of Hormuz.
