Red Sea Disruption: Yemen’s Houthis claimed drone strikes on Saudi Arabia’s Najran airport and an Aramco facility, while Yemeni government forces reported 81 operations against Houthi positions in 24 hours, keeping pressure on regional trade routes. Port Impact: Al-Makha (Mocha) port workers and traders fear for livelihoods as repeated Houthi attacks have disrupted operations and damaged infrastructure. Industry & Trade Risk: Maaden said it will load DAP from Duqm, Oman, as Red Sea and Hormuz risks push exporters toward longer, costlier logistics routes. Labor & Compliance: In the wider shipping ecosystem, Temporary Protected Status terminations in the U.S. are already forcing hiring and training changes in sectors including waste and recycling—highlighting how policy shocks ripple into operations.
