Red Sea Attacks Hike Up Shipping Insurance Rates

Houthi attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea hiked the shipping insurance rates, with fees being imposed to cover risks associated with conflicts. Since last Nov. 19, Iran-backed Houthis have targeted ships in the Red Sea that they suspect are linked to Israel or heading to its ports. Houthis say their attack is in support of the Gaza Strip, which has been witnessing a war since Oct. 7, 2023. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Red Sea container shipping dropped 30% within a year.
