The world’s largest maritime transportation company, Maersk, stated on Wednesday that the impact of Yemeni forces’ attacks in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden will extend to the third quarter of this year. The company highlighted that the ongoing attacks since December 2023 have caused unprecedented challenges to global supply chains, despite the alternatives that have been devised regarding the path of ships.
Follow ups – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:
According to Vincent Clerc, the CEO of Maersk, the coming months will be difficult for both transportation companies and businesses alike as the situation in the Red Sea extends into the third quarter of 2024. He made these remarks during an online event with customers.
Clerc emphasized that this challenging situation affects both transportation companies and companies in need of transporting their goods, explaining that “extending the cycles to travel on the longer route around Africa requires two to three ships, depending on the trade involved.”
Maersk further pointed out that routes between the Far East and Europe via the Suez Canal have been directly affected, as the disturbances in the Red Sea have impacted most trade routes. However, the disruptions have extended beyond routes between the Far East and Europe to the entire global network.
Yemeni forces impose a ban on dealing with the ports of occupied Palestine due to the ongoing aggression on Gaza for the past ten months, as they are constantly stressing that they will not stop their operations targeting violating ships until the aggression stops and the siege is lifted.
