The fragility of the Gaza ceasefire raises concern for maritime security companies

Exclusive – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:

The fragile ceasefire in Gaza has raised growing concern among global maritime security companies, warning of the possibility of the resumption of maritime attacks from Yemen in the event of any violations or deviations from the agreement that came into effect last Sunday morning.

The Financial Times quoted Jacob Larsen, maritime security manager at BIMCO, the world’s largest shipping association, as saying that “the ceasefire in Gaza is still fragile, and even minor deviations from ceasefire agreements could lead to renewed maritime attacks from Yemen.”

The British maritime security company Ambrey confirmed that Israeli ships, even those flying a foreign flag, are still vulnerable to targeting in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, and the resumption of shipping operations in this region depends on the extent to which the ceasefire in Gaza continues.

Ambrey specifically warned against Israeli-linked shipping, confirming that Israeli trade in the Red Sea faces a greater risk than US- and UK-owned shipping, given the fragility of the ceasefire and the continuation of secondary negotiations.

For its part, the Joint Maritime Information Center (JMIC), supervised by the US Navy, confirmed that the threat in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden to shipping linked to Israel, the US, or the UK “will remain high.”

The Yemeni Armed Forces prohibit Israeli, American, and British navigation from crossing the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean and Bab Al-Mandeb in response to the Israeli aggression on Gaza as well as the American-British aggression on Yemen.
