Six Saudi-flagged supertankers have altered their course in the Gulf of Aden, opting to head to southern Africa instead. This decision comes in response to threats made by Yemen's Houthi movement to target Saudi shipping.
According to ship-tracking data, these supertankers have changed their route in recent days, avoiding the potential risks associated with navigating through the Gulf of Aden. The move is likely a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of these vessels and their crews.
