Saudi-owned supertankers are once again starting to cluster off the coast of Egypt, after earlier signs this week that the backlog was clearing-up.

The number of supertankers anchored near the Egyptian port of Ain Sukhna - which sits at the southern end of a pipeline linking the Red Sea to the Mediterranean - grew to eight. At its peak, ten vessels were stationed off Egypt’s coast.
