Shipping rates have continued to rise, while ports are experiencing congestion and a shortage of empty containers due to the attacks by Sana’a government forces on Israeli ships or those heading to “Israel” in the Red Sea in support of Gaza, which has been under continuous Israeli aggression for eight months.
The Danish shipping group Maersk reported facing significant congestion at Mediterranean and Asian ports, causing substantial delays to its voyages.
The world’s second-largest container company added in a statement that it will cancel two scheduled westbound voyages from China and South Korea in early July due to this congestion.
Major container shipping companies like Maersk, MSC, and Hapag-Lloyd are rerouting their ships away from the Red Sea, opting for the longer route around the Cape of Good Hope in southern Africa.
It is noteworthy that Maersk is one of the prominent companies whose ships have been attacked by Sana’a government forces for violating their ban on Israeli ships or those heading to “Israel.”
