Suspension of sailings! Attention these shipping countries! The risks faced by ships related to the United States, Britain and other countries have increased

On January 16, local time, Houthi armed military spokesman Yahya Sarria issued a statement saying that the Houthi armed forces successfully attacked a ship named "Zografia".

Hai's statement stated that the "F Grafia" was sailing to an Israeli port when it was attacked. The Houthis announced that they will continue to ban Israeli ships or ships heading to Israel from sailing in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea until Israel stops attacking the Gaza Strip and lifts the blockade of Gaza.

Tensions in the Red Sea have escalated significantly recently. Risks to ships associated with US and UK flags, ownership, management and trade have increased due to airstrikes against Houthi military targets.

In addition, ships from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, the Netherlands, as well as Denmark, Germany, New Zealand and South Korea have also been assessed as high-risk ships that may be subject to military attack.

Japan's three major shipping companies have decided to stop all ships from crossing the Red Sea. According to CCTV News citing the "Nihon Keizai Shimbun" report, as of the 16th local time, Japan's three major shipping companies, including Nippon Yusen Lines, Mitsui Lines and Kawasaki Kisen, have decided to stop all ships from passing through the Red Sea.

British oil giant Shell has decided to suspend all shipping through the Red Sea indefinitely, according to people familiar with the matter.

Last month, an oil tanker chartered by Shell was attacked by drones in the Red Sea and harassed by Houthi rebels. Shell subsequently made the decision to suspend transit due to concerns that a substantial and effective attack in the Red Sea could lead to a large-scale oil spill and pose a threat to crew safety.

In addition, the latest data shows that Qatar has also suspended the navigation of LNG ships through the Bab el-Mandab Strait.

According to Sindh Maritime Network, although these natural gas ships have begun sailing again, they are currently turning south to avoid taking the Red Sea route to the Suez Canal.
Tensions in the Red Sea have escalated further over the past few weeks. Ships passing through the Red Sea have been attacked by Yemen's Houthi rebels, prompting more ships to change routes, causing shipping rates to soar.
Recently, affected by the situation in the Red Sea, shipping space has been tight and freight rates have been volatile.
