Abstract

The purpose of this commentary is to suggest a rough estimation of future exports and corresponding fuel consumption of the Saudi shipping sector up to 2040. For estimation purposes, we use two assumptions:

  • A global average energy intensity of 0.078 megajoules per tonne-kilometers (MJ/tonne-km).
  • An average export distance of 5,441 nautical miles (nm) between Saudi Arabia and export trading partner countries.
