Houthis raise Red Sea shipping risks
Reports indicate that the threats from the Houthi group and their imposition of a naval blockade on Saudi ships and vessels heading to the Kingdom's ports pose significant risks to navigation security in the Red Sea. This escalation leads to increased supply chain costs, with maritime insurance premiums expected to rise by over 5%, along with higher energy costs. These developments adversely affect the revenues of Saudi ports, especially Jeddah and Yanbu, and threaten the continuity of global trade movement through the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait, as oil tanker crossings decline and shipping costs climb.
