Oman's Mina al Fahal Terminal Operating Normally

Petroleum ⁠Development Oman said on Friday that ‌operations at Mina Al Fahal port are proceeding ​normally, after three sources told Reuters earlier that ​oil loading ​had been suspended following an explosion near its mooring berths.

The explosion occurred ⁠between single-buoy mooring (SBM) 1 and 2 berths due to an alleged drone attack, the people familiar with the matter ​had ‌said.

It was ⁠not immediately ⁠clear when the attack took place.

Several supertankers ​were seen anchored ‌off the port on Friday, ⁠shipping data from LSEG showed.

Oman exports 800,000 to 900,000 barrels per day of crude from the terminal.

Iranian state media on Wednesday reported that Tehran targeted a U.S. military ship hosting a "control and command centre" while it ‌was approaching Iranian territorial waters in the ⁠Gulf of Oman, which ​the U.S. Central Command has denied.
