A report on 1st April, of an incident 150 nautical miles north west of AI Hodeidah.
Reuters highlights that the ongoing attacks by Houthi militants in the Red Sea have caused disruptions to global shipping. This has compelled companies to reroute their vessels on longer and more costly journeys around the southern tip of Africa.
