Version 1.06 (2024-07-21 16:08:29.154000)
updates: The Houthi-Israel escalation in Yemen and the Middle East has tested the ambitions of the Houthi group. The drone attack on Tel Aviv was the first fatal strike since the start of the war in October. The Houthi group sees the escalation as a way to gain regional legitimacy and raise their projection of power ahead of any potential change of administration in Washington. If a ceasefire is not reached in Gaza, Houthi targets could expand to include US interests and more attacks on international Red Sea shipping. Israel will continue to retaliate by raiding Houthi areas and targeting infrastructure in Yemen. The Israeli attack on Hodeidah caused a huge fire and led to the port being shut down. Western warplanes have been striking Houthi targets in Yemen since December. The US administration's failure to strike a deal with the Houthis to stop attacks on Red Sea shipping has contributed to the recent escalation. The Houthis have disrupted global trade through their Red Sea raids but have kept channels open with Saudi Arabia. The Israeli raid on Hodeidah sends a message to the US and the international coalition in the Red Sea that their current efforts are not enough. Israel has retaliated against the Houthi attacks by attacking Hodeidah. More escalation is predicted with the possibility of even stronger retaliation from Israel

Version 0.96 (2024-07-04 04:58:42.585000)
updates: The recent attacks by Yemen's Houthis have prompted oil-hauling supertankers to shift to carrying diesel, impacting global shipping routes. At least one very large crude carrier (VLCC) is already sailing from the Middle East to Europe with diesel, while another is in the process of loading. At least five more VLCCs are expected to switch to carrying diesel, potentially transporting about 14 million barrels of fuel. The attacks on shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden have disrupted longstanding trade routes and boosted earnings for smaller clean tankers that haul fuels like gasoline and diesel. The increased volatility and higher rates for clean tankers have encouraged larger crude tankers to compete in the clean tanker market. The shift in shipping distances as a result of Houthi attacks has increased the strain on the global fleet, leading traders to turn to bigger ships. The sudden influx of large volumes of fuel can create volatility in benchmark diesel prices. The increased demand for diesel has also impacted ton-miles, a measure of shipping demand, which has risen by 17% this year for refined fuels being shipped from the Middle East. Imports of fuels to northwest Europe and the Mediterranean have also increased significantly. The switchover to carrying diesel is a knock-on effect of the Houthi attacks on shipping routes [c466ee7f].

Version 0.95 (2024-07-03 00:56:18.953000)
updates: The impact of Yemeni operations on the US economy is becoming evident, with disruptions in distant ports, longer journey times, increased shipping prices, and inflation. Major retailers and shipping companies are feeling the effects of the Red Sea crisis, and importers are facing supply constraints and higher shipping costs. The continuation of Yemeni operations and lack of confidence in American power indicate that high shipping costs are here to stay. Ending Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip is seen as a way to address these concerns [2d4ef5d5]

Version 0.28 (2023-12-31 11:06:30.112000)
updates: Shipping companies have decided to resume transit through the Red Sea after suspending their routes due to attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels. The decision comes as a US-led naval coalition is now policing the maritime route to ensure the safety of commerce in the area. Maersk, one of the world's largest shipping companies, recently suspended its vessels' passage through the Bab al-Mandab Strait in the Red Sea for 48 hours after one of its merchant ships was attacked by Houthi rebels. The attacks have prompted shipping companies to divert their routes around the Cape of Good Hope, resulting in increased costs and disruptions to supply chains. Other shipping companies are still avoiding the Red Sea route and opting for alternative routes. The US military is engaging with shipping companies to ensure safe passage through the Red Sea and Suez Canal despite ongoing attacks by Houthi rebels. However, most shipping lines are hesitant to sail through the region due to concerns about the effectiveness of the multinational force in preventing attacks. The Houthis have targeted ships linked to Israel but have also attacked ships without direct links. Half of the container-ship fleet that regularly transits the Red Sea and Suez Canal is currently avoiding the route, leading to increased costs and potential supply chain disruptions. Some experts argue that a more forceful response is needed to address the threat posed by the Houthis, who operate from uncontrolled portions of Yemen. However, the Biden administration is hesitant to take action that could escalate the conflict. The US-led coalition, named Operation Prosperity Guardian, includes forces from multiple countries but has not provided detailed operational plans. The operation will continue indefinitely until the threat to international shipping in the region has ceased. Yemen's Houthi rebels continue their attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea, according to Vice Adm. Brad Cooper, the top commander of U.S. naval forces in the Middle East. Despite the international maritime mission to protect vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, the attacks have not ceased. Since the start of Operation Prosperity Guardian just over 10 days ago, over 1,200 merchant ships have traveled through the Red Sea region without being hit by drone or missile strikes. Additional countries, including Denmark, are expected to join the mission. The coalition, consisting of warships from the United States, France, and the United Kingdom, has shot down 17 drones and four anti-ship ballistic missiles since the operation began. The Houthis have increased their use of anti-ship ballistic missiles, and the attacks are likely to continue. The shipping industry is coordinating with the coalition to ensure the security of commercial ships.
