How to avoid Houthi missile strikes: One critical decision makes ships significantly more likely to be hit

Ships that turn off their tracking systems during Red Sea transits are much more likely to evade missile attacks than operators who follow Houthi orders to keep them on, according to data from the European Union’s naval task force.

The Aspides naval mission said only 6% of Houthi missile attacks hit their targets over the last eight months when ships had AIS switched off.
