Oil tanker owners stopped sending their ships through the southern Red Sea on Friday after US and UK airstrikes in Yemen, the clearest examples yet of disruption to petroleum flows since Houthi militants began attacking commercial vessels.
At least three firms, who between them marshal more than 350 tankers, said they were pausing voyages through the area. Many more owners are likely to have followed suit after advice from western military forces that all ships should stay away. Dry-bulk commodity and liquefied gas carriers also appeared to avoid the Red Sea.
