(Jan 13): AP Moller-Maersk A/S has safely sailed another ship through the southern part of the Red Sea, its second successful attempt after most shipping lines have avoided the area for two years. The voyage marks another step towards normalisation of global supply lines, after Yemen-based Houthis in 2023 began attacking vessels, forcing shipowners to sail south of Africa. Maersk said it will now continue to “gradually” resume transits as the security situation seems to approve. The Maersk Denver, a US-flagged container vessel, on Jan 11-12 successfully transited the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and into the Red Sea, Copenhagen-based Maersk said in a statement late on Monday. Maersk had made “necessary safety measures” during the transit, it said, without providing details.
