Commercial shipping through the Bab al-Mandab Strait fell sharply on Sunday after Houthi attacks on Saudi oil facilities along the Red Sea coast, according to shipping data firm Kpler. Only 11 commercial vessels crossed the strait, the lowest level in several months. Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz also declined, with just seven vessels transiting on Sunday.
Shipping near Yemen’s Red Sea coast has been disrupted since last week, with the impact increasing after Iran-backed Houthis moved to block Saudi oil exports, the report said. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the group attacked facilities of Saudi state oil company Aramco in Jizan and Yanbu on Saturday. The report said the disruption was also escalating tensions in the Iran-United States conflict.
Seven of the 11 vessels crossing Bab al-Mandab were oil tankers. In Hormuz, three vessels crossed on Saturday with their tracking transponders switched off. Supply disruptions linked to the Middle East conflict pushed crude oil prices in markets across the Middle East, Europe and Africa to their highest level in two months last week.
