Houthis agree to give tugs access to damaged Delta tanker in Red Sea

Yemen’s Houthi group has agreed to allow tugboats and rescue ships to reach a damaged Delta Tanker suezmax in the Red Sea, according to Reuters.

The 164,000-dwt Sounion (built 2006) was attacked by the Houthis last week and a “third party” tried to send two tugs to help salvage the crude oil tanker but the Houthis threatened to attack them.
