Abstract

A fuel tanker operated by Trafigura Group was struck by a missile in the Red Sea, marking a significant attack by Yemen's Houthi rebels on an oil-carrying vessel. The tanker, Marlin Luanda, was carrying naphtha used for gasoline and plastics. The strike occurred southeast of Aden, Yemen, and the area has seen multiple attacks on ships by Houthi militants in recent weeks. This conflict has disrupted trade flows as some shippers avoid the waterway. [Extracted from the article]
