Maersk announced it will extend a 48 hour pause to transits through the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden until further notice following the attack on one of its ships over the weekend.
Over 20 attacks on shipping have been carried out since late November, with attempted hijacking from small boats, missile attacks, and drone attacks all reported by merchant vessels in an area stretching from off the coast of Oman in the Indian Ocean, through the Gulf of Aden and into the Red Sea.
