Saudi Arabia has launched a maritime defense coalition with 13 member countries to protect shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden amid escalating conflict with Houthi rebels in Yemen. The coalition aims to secure vital trade routes that underpin Saudi oil exports, responding to increased missile and drone attacks that threaten regional stability.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new security framework shaping trade routes critical for oil exports, creating urgency to adjust risk management and explore alternatives for shipping and supply chain resilience. Rival powers now coordinate naval operations, signalling heightened regional militarisation that could disrupt business continuity.
