Saudi state oil company Aramco loaded about 14 million barrels of crude oil on seven VLCCs on Sunday inside the Gulf, as the kingdom increased loadings from Gulf export terminals after an attack disrupted crude shipments via its East-West pipeline to the Red Sea, Reuters reports citing data from TankerTrackers.com.

An Aramco spokesperson has declined to comment, while satellite images seen by Reuters appeared to show seven tankers in the vicinity of the Ras Tanura Port on Sunday.
