Iranian-backed Houthi militants in Yemen have stepped up attacks on vessels in the Red Sea to show their support for Palestinian Islamist group Hamas fighting Israel in Gaza. The attacks, targeting a route that allows East-West trade, especially of oil, to use the Suez Canal to save the time and expense of circumnavigating Africa, have pushed some shipping companies to reroute vessels. Maritime authorities and shipping ministries, including those of Norway and Greece, also warned against sailing in the area.
Below are companies (in alphabetical order) that have decided to pause shipping via the Red Sea:
CMA CGM: The French shipping group has rerouted several vessels via the Cape of Good Hope, while instructing other ships that were scheduled to pass through the Red Sea to reach safe areas and pause their journey until further notice. The group said on Dec. 21 it would impose surcharges on shipments due to longer routes.
EURONAV: The Belgian oil tanker firm said on Dec. 18 it would avoid the Red Sea area until further notice.
EVERGREEN: The Taiwanese container shipping line said on Dec. 18 its vessels on regional services to Red Sea ports would sail to safe waters nearby and wait for further notification, while ships scheduled to pass through the Red Sea would be rerouted around the Cape of Good Hope. It also temporarily stopped accepting Israeli cargo.
FRONTLINE: The Norway-based oil tanker group said on Dec. 18 that its vessels would avoid passages through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
GRAM CAR CARRIERS: The Norwegian shipping company, which specialises in pure car truck carriers, said on Dec. 21 its vessels were restricted from passing through the Red Sea.
HAPAG-LLOYD: The German container shipping line said on Dec. 21 it would reroute 25 ships by the end of the year to avoid the Suez Canal and the Red Sea, adding it would take further decisions at the end of the year.A projectile believed to be a drone on Dec. 15 struck its vessel sailing close to the coast of Yemen. No crew were injured.

MAERSK: The Danish shipping group paused all shipments through the Red Sea until further notice, following a “near-miss incident” involving its ship. On Dec. 19, Maersk said it would reroute its vessels around the Cape of Good Hope. It will also impose extra charges on container transport on affected routes.
MSC: Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) said on Dec. 16 its ships would not transit through the Suez Canal, with some already rerouted via the Cape of Good Hope, a day after two ballistic missiles were fired at its vessel.
OCEAN NETWORK EXPRESS: Ocean Network Express (ONE), a joint venture of Japan’s Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Nippon Yusen and Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, said on Dec. 19 it would reroute vessels away from the Suez Canal and the Red Sea.
