Shipping giant Maersk which had
suspended its operations through the volatile Red sea shipping lane following
the missile attack on one of its ships a few days ago has announced that it
will not resume passage through a key Red Sea Strait until further notice.
The Maersk Hangzhou, a
Singapore-flagged, Denmark-owned and operated container vessel en route from
Singapore to Port Suez in Egypt, reported being struck by a missile while
transiting the Bab al-Mandab Strait, the choke point between the Red Sea and
the Gulf of Aden.
Maersk has decided to
pause all transits through the Red Sea/Gulf of Aden until further notice, as
per reports. In cases where it makes most
sense for its customers, vessels will be re-routed and continue their journey
around the Cape of Good Hope, the company added.
Meanwhile several
shipping companies have said they would avoid, either entirely or as far as
possible, transit through the Red Sea. Many have been re-routing some
sailings via Africa’s southern Cape of Good Hope. The disruption threatens to
drive up delivery costs for goods, raising fears it could trigger a fresh bout
of global inflation, the reports said.
Around 12 per cent of global trade
passes through the Suez Canal, representing 30 per cent of all global container
traffic and over 1 trillion US dollars worth of goods annually.
