International Report: Traffic in the Red Sea is stable

The transit operations through the points of suffocation in the Red Sea remained largely unchanged two weeks after the Houthis announced a partial endowment of their attacks on commercial ships, according to a report by Lloyd, not British company specialized in the field of navigation.
According to ship tracking data from the company 'Lloyds La Intelligence', the Suez Canal crossed 200 ships equivalent to 14.3 million tons during the past week, and 225 ships equivalent to 14 million tons via Bab al -Mandab.
These quantities are compatible with the levels that have witnessed the past 11 months, as the traffic has been largely stabilized after avoiding the Red Sea at the beginning.
The head of the Suez Canal Authority, Lieutenant -General Osama Rabie, said during a telephone conversation with the CEO of Merck Vincent Clarek, that the improvement in the situation in the Red Sea should be taken into consideration when making navigation decisions.
Rabie said: "The positive indicators that the Red Sea region must take into account when developing navigation plans and tables during the coming period."
Bab al -Mandab's transit analysis shows that some of the ship's owners and operators have sufficiently reassured the Houthi statements that they are no longer goals.
Among 225 ships sailed via Bab al -Mandab last week, it seems that 16 ships returned to the point of suffocation after they changed their path when the security situation deteriorated.
Also, 15 other ships were making their first journey through the strait without having a history in such transit during the past two years.
Ships with goods were taken for more than 10,000 tons (those that are likely to be international) in mind this analysis
