The Suez Canal Authority said on Monday that the oil tanker Krizelis, which raises the flag of Liberia, crossed the Red Sea this week after the Houthis attacked it in Yemen last year, in one of the first flights since the movement announced the cessation of attacks on ships not associated with Israel. >

Shipping companies have stopped many of them trips in the Red Sea and changed the path of their ships around South Africa to avoid the potential Houthi attacks, and are currently waiting impatiently to make sure that flights across the Red Sea have become safe since the ceasefire in Gaza. p>

The Houthis allied with Iran said on January 20 after the ceasefire in Gaza that they would limit their attacks in the shipping corridors on the ships associated with Israel. They had carried out more than 100 ships attacks since November 2023 and drowned two ships.

The attacks have previously targeted ships linked to Britain and the United States, although others are not related to the two countries also attacked.

The Suez Canal Authority said on Monday that the return of the ship Krizels is “the first transit since the carrier was attacked in the Red Sea last July.”

The head of the commission, Osama Rabie, said, “The return of the carrier to cross from the Suez Canal is a strong reassurance message to the positive developments to start the return of stability to the Red Sea region.”

Ship tracking data for the London stock exchange group showed that the ship has sailed through the Bab al -Mandab strait in the past few days, then headed north through the Suez Canal.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El -Sisi said in December that the channel’s disruption cost Egypt about seven billion dollars in 2024.
