"Maersk Halts Red Sea Routes Following Houthi Assaults and U.S. Military Response"

Maersk, a leading shipping company, has indefinitely suspended its operations in the Red Sea following attacks by Houthi rebels. Despite a previous 48-hour pause and intentions to resume transit after a U.S.-led naval operation began, the continued threat has led Maersk to halt Red Sea transits and reroute ships around the Cape of Good Hope, which may increase costs and cause delays for customers. The company remains focused on minimizing supply chain disruptions for its customers.
