CMA CGM suspends Red Sea transits after Houthi attack

CMA CGM has suspended transits in the Red Sea after US authorities said one of its ships was the “likely target” of a Houthi attack.

A source familiar with the French liner giant confirmed to TradeWinds that it has suspended all crossing of the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, which connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and has been within firing range of Houthi weapons.
