[Regnum] Danish carrier Maersk will extend the withdrawal of its ships from the Red Sea for the foreseeable future due to security concerns amid a series of attacks by Houthi militants. This is stated in the company's press release on the Maersk website.
“The situation is constantly evolving and remains highly fluid, and all available intelligence confirms that the security risk remains at a significantly elevated level,” the press release said.
The company noted that it is trying to provide customers with “greater consistency and predictability” despite delivery delays. Ships heading to Europe will for now bypass the African continent through the Cape of Good Hope.
As Regnum reported, on December 30, in the Red Sea from areas controlled by the Houthis, missiles were fired at a container ship of the Danish company Maersk, which was sailing under the flag of Singapore. The carrier has suspended ship movements in the area indefinitely.
Following the attack, Maersk suspended ship movements in the Red Sea indefinitely. The Danish carrier added that the company will stop transporting goods through the area while the situation is assessed.
In early January, several merchant ships in the southern Red Sea reported ballistic missiles being fired towards them from Yemen. The Houthis also attacked the French carrier CMA CGM's Tage.
A representative of the movement assured that militants will continue to attack ships heading to Israel, adding that attempts at counteraction by the United States will not be left unanswered.
In turn, Russia's permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said that the alarming events in the Red Sea are a projection of violence in Gaza.
