      well it would be if refineries nearby would be running, but they don’t, because there’s no good logistics chain in place

          that destination could be still somewhere with access to stranded fuel and with access to other port, like oman, or they could perhaps truck it to yanbu and ship from there, but it doesn’t matter because price increase would probably need to be even bigger for it to make sense. facility would also need to run only on fraction of capacity, and there’s probably no point in that if you can’t export everything that’s made there. currently it might be damaged anyway. what i mean is, there are problems solvable by throwing money at them, but it’s probably not one of these
