Six Saudi tankers have changed their route in recent days to bypass the Gulf of Aden between Yemen and the southern coast of the Arabian Peninsula, making their way toward the southern region of Africa. This is according to ship tracking data. In the background, threats by the Houthi rebels in Yemen to target Saudi ships. The tankers were empty of cargo after returning from destinations in Asia, and sailed to South Africa instead of crossing the Red Sea through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
