Shipping giant CMA CGM halts transit through Red Sea amid repeated Houthi attacks

PARIS — Shipping group CMA CGM suspends until further notice all crossings by its vessels of the Bab al-Mandab Strait in and out of the Red Sea due to security risks, a source familiar with the matter says.

The decision is taken after the latest attacks on vessels by the Houthi militia in Yemen, including the targeting this week of a convoy that included CMA CGM-operated ships, the source says.
