FRANKFURT, Germany – **Maersk shipping firm** has confirmed it is preparing to allow vessels to resume sailing through the Red Sea, thanks to the start of a U.S.-led multinational naval operation to protect ships from attacks by Houthi rebels in Yemen.
*Houthis’ attacks have brought about a major disruption of shipping through the Suez Canal and the Red Sea, one of the most important arteries for trade.* This affects goods trade between Europe and Asia — including **oil, natural gas, grain, and consumer goods.**
The company said it was working on plans for the first vessels to make the journey “and for this to happen as soon as operationally possible.”
On Saturday, a U.S. warship shot down four incoming drones originating from Houthi-controlled areas, and a Norwegian-flagged chemicals and oil tanker reported a near miss of an attack drone, while an India-flagged tanker was hit with no injuries reported., **the U.S. Central Command said Sunday**. The incidents represented the 14th and 15th attacks on commercial shipping by the Houthis since Oct.
