"Freight and insurance costs have risen due to delays in vessel arrivals, leading to a 3 to 7 percent increase in shipping rates. This is primarily caused by unsafe maritime routes and the disruption of commercial traffic connecting Yemen, neighboring states, and global trade corridors."

Recent clashes between Yemen's Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition and Yemeni government forces have heightened risks to commercial shipping in the Red Sea, which could disrupt global oil supplies.
Fears are growing that the new round of fighting could undo months of fragile peace talks and turn the momentum of diplomatic efforts back into uncertainty on the battlefield.
"The peace process has reached a total impasse, and the political file is effectively closed. We are now facing a decisive military escalation, highlighted by official mobilization calls, including one from Rashad Mohammed Al-Alimi, chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council of Yemen, and intensifying clashes across multiple frontlines, particularly around the outskirts of Taiz," said Dalil Al-Maamari, a political analyst in Yemen's Aden.
With the main fighting taking place near key corridors linking land routes to the southern Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, threats to sea traffic are mounting fast.
Shipping companies face higher insurance costs and longer routes. On land, keeping fuel supplies moving through volatile corridors is becoming increasingly difficult.
"Freight and insurance costs have risen due to delays in vessel arrivals, leading to a 3 to 7 percent increase in shipping rates. This is primarily caused by unsafe maritime routes and the disruption of commercial traffic connecting Yemen, neighboring states, and global trade corridors," said Abdulwali Jahlan, director of Public Services at Yemen's Ministry of Oil and Minerals.
With vital supply lines under pressure, experts said that securing global energy trade requires calm on the ground.
