Impact of Houthi attacks on global shipping
Houthi attacks in the Red Sea have wreaked havoc in the shipping industry, leading to disruptions in supply chains. The attacks have caused a significant decline in vessel traffic, especially for liquefied natural gas and container ships. Companies have been forced to reroute their ships around the Cape of Good Hope, resulting in longer transit times and increased costs. Shipping companies face the dilemma of either risking attacks or taking longer routes. This has led to delays, shortages, and increased costs for retailers, manufacturers, and exporters worldwide.
