Shipping companies and consumers become the worst victims of escalating violence along the Red Sea trade corridor.
Greek ship attacked in Red Sea by Houthis arrives in Aden. Photo: ReutersThe latest attack by the Houthis — Iran-backed group who’ve controlled Yemen’s western ports for a decade — took place last week when they fired missiles at a ship travelling through the Red Sea off the coast of the Houthi-held port city of Hodeida in Yemen.
Dr Devecioglu, the coordinator for North African Studies at ORSAM, an Ankara-based think tank, says Iran-aligned Houthis are waging an “asymmetric war” against the dominant powers of the international system. In contrast, the latest average of daily transit calls at Cape of Good Hope, located at the southern tip of Africa, has gone up nearly 42 percent to 85 ships.
Pelayo says shipping associated with Russia and China has passed through the troubled trade route “largely unaffected but not entirely”.
