Ship Hit by Missile as US Warns Red Sea Route Remains Too Risky

  • Vessel struck by a missile in the Gulf of Aden on Monday
  • Western navies already warned about safety of navigation

The US is telling shippers to stay away from the Red Sea after coalition forces bombed Yemen, according to a top trade group, as a missile hit a vessel on the crucial trade route.

The safety warning to shipping, posted on Linkedin by the world’s international shipping association Bimco, cited advice from the US Naval Forces Central Command. It warned the current instability could last “still some time.” The maritime industry had already been warned on Friday to stay away, but some guidance suggested a pause of only three days.
