Navigation slowdown in Bab al-Mandab and Hormuz
The Bab al-Mandeb Strait has experienced a decline in commercial ship traffic following the Houthis’ targeting of Saudi oil tankers and their threats of further attacks on Saudi ports. This has led shipping companies to reassess security risks, resulting in a notable halt in vessel passages. Similarly, maritime navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important sea passages, has also decreased, with fewer than 10 ships crossing during the weekend compared to over 100 ships daily before the escalation, amid heightened tensions between the United States and Iran.
