After the attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea, the Danish shipping giant Maersk is instructing its container ships to temporarily stop sailing through the affected area.
Maersk said on Friday at the request of the German Press Agency that it was deeply concerned about the escalated security situation in the southern Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The recent attacks are alarming and pose a significant threat to the safety of seafarers.
After a near miss by the “Maersk Gibraltar” on Thursday and another attack on a container ship on Friday, all Maersk ships in the area that were supposed to sail through the Bab al-Mandab Strait were called upon to pause their journeys until further notice. the company explained. The situation will continue to be monitored closely. The company strives to ensure the best possible stability of customers’ supply chains and is taking measures to keep the impact on customers as low as possible.
Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen are threatening to block ships of any nationality bound for Israel from passing through the Red Sea. Only freighters delivering aid to the Gaza Strip would be granted passage. Several ships have been attacked since then, most recently a container freighter belonging to the German shipping company Hapag-Lloyd.
