Red Sea Shipping Slows After Houthi Attack on Saudi Arabia
Kpler said 11 commodity vessels crossed Bab el-Mandeb on Sunday, the lowest level in months, after Houthi attacks on Saudi oil installations.
- On Sunday, ship traffic through the Bab el-Mandeb fell to its lowest level in months after Yemeni Houthis attacked Saudi oil installations along the Red Sea coast.
- Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree confirmed the group struck Aramco sites in Jizan and Yanbu on Saturday, targeting Saudi state oil company facilities.
- Shipping data from Kpler showed only eleven commodity vessels transited on Sunday, including the Hong Kong-flagged VLCC New Explorer carrying 2 million barrels of Saudi and Emirati crude for China.
- Transit through the Strait also remained low over the weekend, with fewer than 10 commodity vessels passing daily despite a pause in strikes between the U.S. and Iran.
- Red Sea traffic has faced disruptions since last week as Tehran-aligned Houthis attempt to blockade Saudi exports, expanding the US-Iran conflict that has already choked oil supplies through the Strait.
