[ドバイ １０日 ロイター] – 世界最大の石油輸出企業であるサウジアラビアの国有サウジアラムコ(2222.SE), opens new tabは１０日、イラン戦争がホルムズ海峡の海上輸送を混乱させ続ければ世界の石油市場に「壊滅的影響」をもたらすとの見方を示した。
アミン・ナセル最高経営責任者（ＣＥＯ）は決算を受けた記者団との電話会見で、この混乱は海運・保険業界だけでなく、航空、農業、自動車などの産業にも深刻なドミノ効果をもたらすと述べた。
世界の石油在庫が５年ぶりの低水準にあると指摘し、この危機により在庫の減少ペースが加速すると述べた上で、同海峡の輸送再開が極めて重要だと強調した。
また、先週の攻撃により国内最大となるアラムコのラス・タヌラ製油所で小規模な火災が発生したが、すぐに消火・鎮圧されたと述べた。同製油所は操業再開の準備中という。
