Houthi threats shift oil tanker route
The shipping company "Torm" rerouted the oil product tanker "Torm Innovation" to avoid sailing through the southern part of the Red Sea due to the tense security situation in the region, especially following threats from the Iran-backed Houthi rebels to disrupt navigation through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The vessel has now been directed to pass through the Suez Canal and the Cape of Good Hope as part of a careful risk assessment to enhance crew safety. Despite the Houthi threats, maritime traffic through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait continued, with 49 ships passing through in a single day—a 16% increase compared to the previous day. The company emphasizes that the safety of its seafarers remains a top priority and that it is closely monitoring the situation.
