After the Red Sea attacks calmed down in early July, Yemen's Houthi armed forces launched new attacks, again carrying out three attacks in one day. Tensions in the Red Sea region are still rising.
On July 9, local time, the spokesman for the Yemeni Houthi armed forces, Yahya Saraya, issued a statement stating that the organization attacked two ships, the "Maersk Sentosa" and the "Marathopolis" in the Arabian Sea that day, and also attacked two ships in the Gulf of Aden. Vessel "MSC Patnaree III".
Yahya said that the Houthi armed forces will continue to cooperate with the Iraqi militia "Islamic Resistance Organization" to support the Palestinian people. Until the aggression against Palestine stops and the blockade against the Palestinian people is lifted, relevant military operations will not be stopped.
Every move in the Red Sea region affects changes in the shipping market. According to statistics, Yemen’s Houthi armed forces launched the largest number of attacks on commercial ships in 2024 so far in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden in June.
According to the data, there were 16 confirmed attacks on ships in June. This is the highest number of attacks in a single month since 2024. The last time so many ships were attacked was in December last year.
The attack is the latest attack on commercial ships since early July. It is worth noting thatThis latest incident occurred outside the traditional threat zone of the Houthis.
The recent freight rate increase has slowed down, but shipping space is still the core supporting freight rate growth. As long as the Red Sea crisis remains and a large number of ship capacity shortages exist, freight rates are expected to be difficult to return to normal levels soon.
