Abstract

After months of attacks on ships in the Red Sea, recent US and UK led attacks on Houthi targets have showed how important the protection of a main trade route is to countries around the world. Around 90% of traded goods globally are carried by sea. 12% of trade goes through the Suez Canal, the Southern entrance to which is affected by the ongoing Houthi attacks.
