US-Houthi ceasefire not expected to spur imminent Red Sea return
- Analysts say US-Houthi ceasefire unlikely to bring immediate return to Red Sea
- US ships will not be targeted as long as the ceasefire holds, but Houthis say Israeli ships are still ‘banned’, similar to early days of the Red Sea crisis
- ‘As a matter of precaution, shipowners are advised to maintain their current risk management measures until further notice,’ says BIMCO chief safety and security officer Jacob Larsen
Houthis say Israeli-owned ships are still ‘banned’, essentially marking a return to its December 2023 targeting scope
