The Houthis are creating traffic jams at the world’s busiest port

The ships use the longer route around Africa to avoid the Red Sea, where Yemen’s Houthis have launched attacks.

Yemen’s Houthis have disrupted maritime traffic in the Red Sea and Suez Canal, creating the worst traffic jams in the port of Singapore. Reuters wrote this on Wednesday, June 26.

The port, already one of the world’s busiest, faces long periods of traffic congestion as ship transfers around the Red Sea send more container ships bound for the Asian shipping hub.

It is known that the traffic jams at the port of Singapore are the worst since the COVID-19.

Congestion at global ports reached an 18-month high. 60% of ships are waiting for anchor in Asia. As of mid-June, ships with a total capacity of more than 2.4 million twenty-foot containers (TEU) were waiting in the anchorages.

This is in contrast to the pandemic, where ports were overwhelmed by rapid demand from consumers not traveling abroad. Shipping schedules are currently disrupted as ships take longer routes around Africa to avoid the Red Sea, where Yemen’s Houthis have been attacking ships since November 2023.

It was earlier reported that a second ship, the bulk carrier Tutor, sank in the Red Sea due to an attack by the Houthis.

Earlier, the Yemeni Houthis attacked the Ukrainian ship Verbena with two anti-ship cruise missiles in the Gulf of Aden.
