My brother in law moves commodities around the world. Last night he told me that the port in Rotterdam is no longer accepting cargo ships, they have a backlog of 2,000,000 containers that are not able to pass through the Red Sea due to the Houthis effectively closing boat traffic. The port at Antwerp is viable- for now, but will likely have to stop accepting cargo in 4 to 6 weeks, same reason.
The French and German navies are not interested in challenging the Houthis for fear of having their ships sunk by drones
Instead of crossing the Red Sea, cargo must route around all of Africa to enter the Port at Dijbouti.
Supposedly the Houthis are acting in support of Hamas, I’m skeptical
Who benefits from this?
