The prospect of a ceasefire has also sent Maersk\u2019s shares down to their lowest level since June.<\/p>\n
Maersk will consider resuming transport through the Red Sea where attacks on merchant ships since the end of 2023 have forced container shipping companies, among others, to reroute south of Africa.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will consider resuming transport through the Red Sea once a long-term and sustainable security solution has been established,\u201d Maersk told Reuters in the wake of the latest news about a peace plan for Gaza.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, Israel and Hamas agreed on the first phase of a peace plan for Gaza, orchestrated by US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
This gives hope that Yemen\u2019s Iran-allied Houthi forces may stop their attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea. However, the Houthis have not yet commented on the ceasefire agreement or signaled any change in policy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a clear link between the security risk in the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the conflict in Gaza, but it is too early to assess how progress in Gaza will affect the situation in the Red Sea,\u201d Maersk says, according to Reuters.<\/p>\n
The Bab al-Mandab Strait connects the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden and forms the entrance to the Suez Canal from where ships can take a shortcut to the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n
The Houthi movement recently told ShippingWatch that it will only stop its attacks in the Red Sea once the war in Gaza is over.<\/p>\n
It states that the group\u2019s \u201cmilitary operations,\u201d which are in response to Israel\u2019s \u201cgruesome massacres\u201d and \u201cunjust siege,\u201d are directly linked to developments in Gaza.<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore, the cessation of these supportive military operations is conditional on a complete and actual cessation of the aggression against Gaza,\u201d the movement\u2019s communications unit HOCC said in a written response to ShippingWatch.<\/p>\n
