Ship traffic in Bab al-Mandab drops
The movement of ships passing through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait has experienced a significant decline, with only 11 ships crossing on Sunday—the lowest number in recent months—due to Houthi attacks on Saudi oil facilities along the Red Sea coast, which have disrupted navigation in the area. This coincided with a continued low rate of vessel crossings through the Strait of Hormuz. The ongoing conflict in the region has heightened tensions between the United States and Iran, as well as caused disruptions to global oil supplies, with several massive tankers leaving the Red Sea loaded with large quantities of Saudi and Russian oil bound for China. These developments underscore the growing impact of regional conflicts on vital shipping routes and energy markets stability.
