Ansar Allah: No taxes imposed, Saudi ships redirected
The Houthi movement "Ansar Allah" in Yemen denied reports claiming that fees are being imposed on ships passing through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. They confirmed that passage through the strait is free of charge and that no plans have been made or considered to levy any fees. The group clarified that the "Safe Passage" service they offer to ports and shipping companies is free and allows for the verification of safe passage through official channels. They warned against unofficial entities demanding payments for crossing permits and called on companies not to pay any such fees, urging them to report any illegal attempts. The group had previously announced that they forced eight Saudi oil tankers to change their routes as part of the maritime blockade operations they are conducting against Saudi Arabia, amidst growing tensions over maritime security in the Red Sea and ongoing international discussions to enhance maritime security in the region.
