Yemen: Freighter “Rubymar” sunk after being attacked by Houthis. The ship filled with water for almost two weeks.
It went down last night. The “ Rubymar’ was carrying around 41,000 tons of fertilizer. In addition, a kilometer-long oil slick had formed. The sea route through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal is one of the most important trade routes in the world. Because of the attacks by the Houthis, large shipping companies are increasingly avoiding the shortest sea route between Asia and Europe.
