|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The UKMTO has reported that there has been sustained kinetic activity in the Red Sea area since mid-March 2025, including recently reported strikes against targets in the vicinity of Hodeidah. Vessels within 1000 metres of the shoreline and/or port facilities are considered to be at a higher risk of collateral damage, if berthing is attempted or if vessels are attempting to leave port. The risks of collateral damage also potentially remain, in the event of further strikes against targets in port areas. The security notification for this Advisory is for a 24-hour period from the time stated. In the event that this endures past the 24-hour period an update will be released. All vessels are advised to exercise extreme caution in the vicinity of ports that have been subjected to strikes already, and, should consider carefully whether the risk of ongoing navigation/operations in those areas remains judicious. | |||||
