Bloomberg: The American coalition is not effective in protecting cargo ships in the Red Sea. The Houthi group says that it targets Israeli ships or those heading to Israel, but the formation of an alliance by the United States of America and Britain with other countries to attack the Houthis prompted them to target their ships as well.
The number of ships sailing through the southern Red Sea decreased by about 70% compared to the beginning of December. The cost of sending a container from Shanghai in China to Rotterdam in the Netherlands is about double what it was last year.
