The report indicated that the new list saw no change in the top three positions in 2024 compared to 2023, with North American countries topping the list.
According to the Washington-based Energy Research Unit's report, global seaborne gasoline imports averaged 5.06 million barrels per day in 2024, a slight increase from the 2023 level of 5 million barrels per day.
The report stated that the United States topped the list of the top 10 in 2024, accounting for more than 9% of total global gasoline imports. Mexico and Singapore ranked second and third among the world's largest gasoline importers in 2024, accounting for 7.1% and 6.9% of the global total, respectively.
According to data from the Energy Research Unit, the world's largest gasoline importers by the end of 2024 are as follows:
1.
United States: 473,000 barrels per day.
2.
Mexico: 362,000 barrels per day.

US seaborne gasoline imports decreased by 59,000 barrels per day in 2024, year-on-year, compared to an average of 532,000 barrels per day in 2023.
The UAE's imports amounted to 207,000 barrels, meeting part of its demand through imports, despite being one of the world's largest gasoline exporters. Oman's imports amounted to approximately 100,000 barrels per day in 2024, up from 82,000 barrels per day the previous year.

Iraq, Libya's crude oil exports to rise in May 2025
Washington - Saba: A new report by the Energy Research Unit indicates an increase in Iraqi and Libyan oil exports, while Oman and Qatar's seaborne crude oil exports declined in May 2025. The new report stated that Iraqi and Libyan oil exports increased during May, with the gradual return of 2.2 million barrels per day of oil to the market, starting last April. This volume had been voluntarily reduced by eight OPEC+ countries between 2024 and the end of March 2025. It was decided to raise the production increase ceiling to 411,000 barrels per day during May, June, and July 2025, more than previously planned. In contrast, Oman's crude oil exports declined in May to approximately 935,000 barrels per day, compared to 994,000 barrels per day in the previous month, a decrease of 59,000 barrels per day. Qatari crude oil exports declined last month to 566,000 barrels per day, compared to 586,000 barrels per day in April. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Media Reports: British Company sent 1,000 ammunition containers to "Israel" during aggression on Gaza
London - Saba: British media reports indicate that a British engineering company sent more than 1,000 ammunition containers to an Israeli company, the primary supplier to the occupation army, during the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip. According to what was published Monday, by the British websites Declassified and Detach, new documents confirm that the British company Bermuda Industries sent more than 1,000 ammunition containers to the Israeli company Elbit Systems since October 2023, at the height of the ongoing aggression on the Gaza Strip, raising concerns about arms export controls in the United Kingdom. British reports indicated that the Durham-based engineering company sent 16 shipments of storage containers weighing more than 100 tons to Elbit Systems, which produces a range of weapons for the Israeli occupation army, including 155mm and 122mm artillery shells. The Bermuda Industries website indicates that the company produces a "wide range of ammunition containers" for belted ammunition, cartridges, mortar shells, and artillery shells. 920 containers were shipped to Elbit's Ramat Hasharon plant between October 2023 and April 2025, with another 160 containers shipped to Elbit's Advanced Technology Center in Haifa in December 2023. Elbit is a major supplier of mortars to the Israeli military and has participated in the design and manufacture of ground systems and products for armored vehicles, artillery systems, and shells used in the Gaza War. The Israeli military has also tested and deployed several mortar systems since the start of the offensive, including the Iron Sting system, which has a range of 1 to 12 kilometers. According to the documents, 360 containers were sent in April 2025, as the Israeli attack on Gaza escalated. The shipments were transported by the Israeli shipping company Zim to the port of Ashdod. Declassified estimated the total weight of these shipments at more than 135 tons. The UK Department for Business and Trade told Declassified: "We have a strict licensing regime for the export of controlled goods, and we have suspended all licenses for items intended for the Israeli military that may be used in military operations in Gaza. This is based on our assessment that these items may be used to commit or facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian law, subject to specific measures taken for the global F-35 program." Britain is witnessing ongoing demonstrations demanding an end to arms exports to the Zionist enemy, the most recent of which was the siege of Parliament by 10,000 protesters last Wednesday. Independent MP Jeremy Corbyn also introduced a bill calling for a full, public, and independent investigation into the UK's role in the ongoing genocide in Gaza, asserting that the government continues to permit the supply of weapons to a country whose leader is wanted by the International Criminal Court. In previous press statements, Corbyn said, "The continued supply of components for the F-35 fighter program is disgusting and must be investigated." He asked, "Is this an exception to the government's legal obligations to prevent genocide? One thing is beyond doubt: this government continues to permit the supply of weapons to a country whose leader is wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity." With American and European support, the enemy has been committing genocide in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting in the deaths of 54,927 civilians, most of them children and women, in addition to more than 11,000 missing persons.

Arab Publishers Association: Printing books "on demand" has become realistic solution amidst challenges
Doha – Saba: Secretary-General of the Arab Publishers Association Bashar Shabaro has confirmed that printing books "on demand" has become a realistic solution amidst challenges, as any reader can request a printed copy and receive it via mail or distribution points in their country. Shabaro also emphasized in press statements at the 34th Doha International Book Fair the need for unified websites containing a wealth of book content, with branches in Arab countries, to facilitate easy access to printed books. He said that the crisis of distributing printed books in the Arab world remains the most prominent challenge to the publishing industry. Shabaro pointed out that the absence of major distribution companies at the regional level has forced publishers to rely on exhibitions as platforms for direct sales to readers, which has weakened the market for libraries and exhibitions. Shabaro said that despite the crowding and high demand for book fairs, the function of fairs is absent, as their primary purpose is not sales but rather the introduction of new publications. However, the lack of unified Arab distribution has made fairs a primary sales vehicle. He emphasized that the future of publishing is not limited to paper books, but rather to "content," explaining that books must be treated as content that can be transformed into multiple forms: paper, digital, audio, interactive, and perhaps even a play or film.
