British website reveals repercussions of Sana’a’s “Phase Four” announcement… Important details

The British website “The Loadstar,” which specializes in navigation affairs, stated that the announcement by Sana’a forces regarding the entry into the fourth phase of the maritime blockade on the Israeli enemy entity and targeting ships of any company dealing with Israeli ports represents a strategic shift in the maritime conflict and opens the door to an unprecedented expansion of the target list.

The site mentioned that the recent decision by Sana’a forces places major shipping companies around the world in the line of fire, even if their commercial activities with Israel are indirect, in a move analysts described as a wide-ranging targeting network.

Maritime analyst Destin Ozygur from the Danish company ESI explained that this development comes just two months after a de-escalation and threatens any ship belonging to a company with dealings with Israel, regardless of the nature or destination of the shipment.

The report noted that shipping lines to Israel via the Suez Canal have completely stopped, but the danger extends to companies like the German Hapag-Lloyd, which reaches Haifa port through space rental agreements, even though its ships do not directly visit Israel, and the French CMA CGM, which is threatened due to its operational partnership with Maersk, which has direct services in Israel, in addition to other companies like EVERGREEN and X-PRESS FEEDERS, which operate ships that regularly visit Israeli ports.

Navigation sources cited by the website warned that any level of commercial connection with Israel may not provide protection under the new rules announced by Sana’a forces, considering that the escalation puts the Red Sea and its connected trade corridors on the brink of a hotter and more complex phase.
