Red Sea Corridor — Iran-Backed Conflict: Since late 2023, Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen have carried out sustained missile and drone attacks on commercial vessels transiting the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, sending war-risk insurance premiums to unprecedented levels and forcing major carriers to abandon the Suez route. This has effectively rendered the Red Sea / Suez corridor non-viable for standard frozen cargo traffic and long-term contracting.
KSA Routing Note: All Saudi Arabia shipments are routed via Cape of Good Hope → Indian Ocean → Strait of Hormuz → Arabian Gulf → Dammam / King Abdul Aziz Port. This routing fully bypasses the Red Sea. Jeddah Islamic Port remains an option only on explicit buyer request and is subject to additional war-risk surcharges and insurer approval.
