Two other shipping companies stopped crossing the Red Sea

According to the report of Fars News Agency International Group, the German company “Hapag Lloyd” and the Hong Kong company “OCL” announced that they have stopped the passage of their ships through the Red Sea.

Hapak Lloyd said that it has changed the route of 25 ships by the end of this year. The fact that these ships do not pass through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal means that they have to take a longer route through Africa.

In the past weeks, the armed forces of Yemen have attacked ships owned or under the flag of Israel due to the attacks of this regime in Gaza and prevented them from passing through the Strait of Bab al-Mandab, located in South of the Red Sea have been prevented.

OCL also said it had ordered its ships to change course or stop their journey through the Red Sea.

The statement of these companies is another sign of the shipping industry’s disregard for the newly formed American maritime alliance, which claims to ensure traffic safety in the Red Sea.

Previously, Reuters reported, citing sources in the world shipping industry, that companies in this industry do not have much confidence in the new US naval alliance in the Red Sea.

These sources said many ships still prefer not to cross the Red Sea or cancel their contracts.

The sources, who include shipping industry and maritime security officials, also said they had been given few practical details about the plan, and they did not know whether Washington would respond to an armed conflict in the event of an armed conflict. The direct face will come into action or not.

Cory Ranslem, CEO of Dirad Global, a British maritime risk and security consultancy, told Reuters: “There is still a lot of uncertainty about the alliance.”

Ransalm noted in another part of his statement that many shipping companies are currently sending their ships to Africa, or some of them have stopped their activities in this region.

Yemen’s Ansarullah, which currently controls a large part of this country, since the beginning of Israel’s attacks in Gaza, has announced that ships owned by, under the flag of, or destined for Israel are in the sea Red targets the attack. Despite this, Ansarullah has stated that the Red Sea is safe for other ships.

The Axios news base, close to American and Zionist sources, reported last week that the threats and attacks of the Yemeni army in the past days caused The journey of Israeli ships has become longer and more expensive.

According to Axios, in the past few weeks, ships bound for other ports outside of Israel have also had to use longer routes to avoid being the target of attacks. The Yemenis should not be found.

In recent weeks, parallel to the intensification of Israel’s attacks in Gaza, the Yemeni army has also narrowed the field for Israeli ships that intend to pass through the Bab al-Mandab Strait in the Red Sea. .

So far, the American and Israeli officials have not been able to find a solution to deal with the Yemeni army. In its report two weeks ago, the Axios website quoted a senior Israeli official as claiming that Netanyahu’s war cabinet has decided to refrain from military response to the actions of Yemen’s Ansarullah in the Red Sea against Israeli ships for the time being.

The US President Joe Biden’s government has sent a message to Ansarullah through several channels, asking them to stop attacking ships in the Red Sea.

But according to Axios, American officials admit that these warnings have not had an effect on the Houthis (Ansarullah) and they have not reduced the intensity of their attacks.

The formation of a new naval coalition is one of the other options through which America and Israel have planned to deal with Ansarullah’s actions. Despite this, the possibility of this coalition’s success has been in doubt since the beginning.
