Warum steigen die Ölpreise? Die 10 wichtigsten Ölrouten am Golf (Oktober 2026)

Mit 5,8 Mio. Barrel pro Tag bei einer Kapazität von 7 Mio. Barrel pro Tag ist sie das größte Ausweichventil für Hormus, und eine vergleichbare Route gibt es nicht.

5 million bpd design capacity serves as the primary regional relief valve, but leaves 2.0 million bpd unused spare capacity

Saudi Arabia's 7 million b/d Red Sea lifeline is pumping at near maximum capacity to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, moving more crude than many nations produce.

A pipeline rated at 7 million b/d that ends at berths that can load only ~4.5 — the quay, not the pipe, sets the ceiling.

Resilience 6.8/10 — built for 5 million b/d, expanded to 7 million b/d, actually moving 5.8 million b/d on 6 October; the escape hatch is running near its limit.

Eine Umgehungsroute, die Anfang August mit 2,2 Mio. Barrel pro Tag einen Rekord erreichte. Etwa 90 % davon ist saudisches Rohöl, sie ist also ein Sicherheitsventil und kein Schwachpunkt.

4.5 million bpd crude and refined flow protected by a 2.5 million bpd parallel pipeline bypass

Egypt's twin 42-inch pipes move 2.5 million barrels a day across the desert, catching the oversized tankers that simply cannot fit through the Suez Canal.

SUMED's 2.5 million b/d lets Saudi crude skip Bab el-Mandeb — but only westward, while 82% of Hormuz crude is bound east.

Resilience 5.5/10 — SUMED can move 2.5 million b/d of crude north through Egypt, but it cannot carry the products that also use Suez.

Die Tracker weichen in derselben Woche um bis zum Vierfachen voneinander ab: Kpler 1,8 Mio. Barrel pro Tag, Vortexa 2,4 Mio. Barrel pro Tag, AXSMarine 0,64 Mio. Barrel pro Tag.

Red Sea export hub capable of 4.5 million bpd, currently operating at 3.1 million bpd load rate

Fed by the East-West pipeline, this Red Sea port is Saudi Arabia's western safety valve, though its offshore loading buoys remain vulnerable to Houthi drone swarms.

In der eigenen Liste anders benannt: ganze Liste öffnen.

Resilience 6.2/10 — Yanbu handled 93% of Saudi exports in June at 4.29 million b/d; by early October it was down to 2.34 million b/d.

Mit 1,8 Mio. Barrel pro Tag ist sie eine vollwertige Ausweichroute um Hormus herum, die außerhalb des Golfs verläuft. Eine zweite Leitung soll angeblich für 2027 beschleunigt gebaut werden.

Bypasses Hormuz with 1.5 million bpd capacity, offering 600,000 bpd of active spare volume

The UAE's 1.5 million b/d escape hatch sits safely outside the Gulf, though recent drone strikes proved that bypass terminals are just as vulnerable as the waterways they avoid.

The only Gulf exit that opens onto open water — Fujairah ran at 98% of pipeline capacity while Hormuz itself sat nearly empty.

Resilience 7.2/10 — the UAE’s only Hormuz bypass can move 1.5–1.8 million b/d, roughly 7–9% of the 20.9 million b/d that normally uses the strait.

Zwei mit Kuwait verbundene Supertanker (VLCCs) wurden innerhalb von vier Tagen getroffen, am 28. September und am 1. Oktober. Kuwait hat keine Pipeline aus dem Golf hinaus.

2.0 million bpd export capacity constrained entirely within the northern Persian Gulf basin

Kuwait's primary export port loads 1.5 million barrels daily with no overland escape route, leaving the nation's entire economy afloat on a single, contested strait.

The one Gulf producer whose oil minister said exports were 'zero' while the strait stayed blocked — now crawling back through Indian ship-to-ship transfers.

Iraks Exporte stiegen von 2,65 Mio. Barrel pro Tag im September auf über 3,4 Mio. im Oktober. Erstmals seit Jahrzehnten schickt das Land nun Tanker durch Hormus.

Iraq's 3.3 million b/d shrank to 0.16 at the peak — and its one bypass pipeline cannot carry a single southern barrel.

Handling 90% of Iran's crude exports, this terminal has zero pipeline backup, making every barrel hostage to the narrow shipping lanes of the northern Gulf.

The only major exporter with its own Hormuz bypass it barely uses — 300,000 b/d of capacity against 1.7 million b/d of exports, most of it idle.
