JAKARTA - It is safe to evacuate all ships from its main oil export terminal at Mina al-Fahal as a preventive measure amid rising security tensions in the region.
The evacuation was carried out as a preventive measure to ensure the safety of maritime navigation and oil facilities amid growing concerns about potential attacks targeting energy infrastructure or oil tankers in the Arabian Gulf, according to Bloomberg.
Mina al-Fahal is Oman's main crude oil export terminal, which is located about 10 kilometers northwest of the capital Muscat. The terminal is a strategic facility in Oman's energy sector.
The evacuation was carried out because oil tankers and energy facilities in a number of Gulf countries had been attacked. This prompted several governments and shipping companies to strengthen security measures.
Analysts say the move reflects the increased security risks facing the energy sector in the region, particularly amid the US-Israeli war against Iran.
Various disruptions to tanker traffic or export operations in the Arabian Gulf raise significant concerns in the global energy market, as the region remains one of the world's most important sources of oil.
Security tensions in key maritime routes also affect global supply chains and push oil prices higher, especially if the attacks continue or expand to include additional energy facilities.
