The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Because it eliminates much of Iran's influence in the region and the Israelis get port fees ($$).

Why would the Saudis do that, vs loading at the Saudi port on the Red Sea, and pocket the port fees themselves?

Over time more can be brought online.
