Eryani warns of dangers of Houthi attacks on migration of shipping companies from the Red Sea
[25/12/2023 03:00]

Aden - Saba
Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism, Muammar Al-Eryani, warned of the serious dangers of repeated attacks launched by the terrorist Houthi militia affiliated with Iran, on civilian ships and oil tankers, which threaten the migration of shipping companies from the Red Sea.

Muammar Al-Eryani made clear that what is more dangerous than the direct losses of the attacks carried out by the Houthi militia in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab is the long-term effects of those attacks as a result of pushing international shipping companies and oil and gas tankers to sail outside the Red Sea and take an alternative path towards safe international transit corridors.

Due to the high prices of sea freight, insurance costs, and its reluctance to sail this international corridor, the most used in the world, accounting for approximately 12% of international shipping and trade traffic. Al-Eryani stressed that promoting the effects of these attacks on the Israeli entity’s economy or imposing a blockade on it is false and misleading talk, as the decline in sea traffic through the Israeli port of Eilat on the Red Sea by 80% ignores the fact that the port handles only 5% of Israel’s seaborne trade.

Most imports pass through the Mediterranean Sea (Ashdod, Haifa), and the port of Eilat is mainly used for importing cars and is not connected to a railway like other ports. Al-Eryani stressed that Yemen, especially the areas under the force of the control of the terrorist Houthi militia, depends mainly on the import of food and consumer goods, and imports 80% of its needs through the port of Hodeidah on the Red Sea, and the rise in sea freight prices and insurance costs will lead to a rise in food prices in the country.

It is suffering from a humanitarian crisis and the majority of its population depends on food aid due to the conditions of war and the coup.
