International shipping companies resumed sailing through the Red Sea following assurances sent by Sana’a to international shipping companies and specifying the type of targeted ships.
The French “CMAC CGM” announced that some of its ships have returned to crossing the Red Sea, while the Danish “Maersk” intends to do the same, according to what the two shipping companies announced on Wednesday, after suspending this due to the Yemeni attacks against the backdrop of the war in Gaza.
The French company said that “some ships have crossed the Red Sea,” and that it intends “to gradually increase the transit of our ships through the Suez Canal,” in a message to its customers, a copy of which was received by Agence France-Presse.
For its part, Maersk confirmed that it intends to “resume navigation in the Red Sea in the east as well as the west direction,” noting that ships will resume using this sea lane “as soon as possible.
” International transport companies had announced the suspension of traffic through the Red Sea after operations launched by the Yemenis targeting ships linked to Israel or sailing to and from its ports, in response to the Israeli aggression against Gaza. The Sanaa forces confirmed that their operations are “in support of Gaza,” stressing that they will continue their operations unless food and medicine are allowed to enter the besieged Strip.
