Dec 16, 2023
In this episode, Sal Mercogliano - maritime historian at Campbell University (@campbelledu) and former merchant mariner - discusses the decision by Maersk, Mediterranean Shipping, and Hapag to turn their ships from the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb due to Houthi attacks. What do these diversions mean, what is the background on the Houthi attacks, what ships have been attacked so far, and what does this decision to divert mean for global shipping?
