The Danish carrier added that the company will stop transporting goods through the area while the situation is assessed. “Where it makes the most sense for our customers, ships will re-route and continue around the Cape of Good Hope,” the carrier explained. As Regnum reported, on December 30, missiles were fired from areas controlled by the Houthis in Yemen in the Red Sea in an attempt to attack the Singapore-flagged container ship MAERSK Hangzhou, owned by Denmark. Later, on January 2, US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported that the US destroyer USS Gravely shot down two anti-ship ballistic missiles fired from Yemen in the Red Sea. On the morning of December 31, the UK Navy's Maritime Trade Coordination Center (UKMTO) reported that two explosions occurred off the coast of Yemen, west of Hodeidah. UKMTO clarified that the ship was not damaged and was sent to its destination port. In addition, in early December, the Houthis attacked the American warship USS Carney with missiles and drones in the Red Sea. According to UK-based maritime security company Ambrey, the cargo ship was damaged in a drone strike off the northern Yemeni port of Hodeidah.
