Where are the houthis? China’s vehicle manufacturers are taking shortcuts in European markets

The Chinese vehicle manufacturer is shipping cars in Europe through the Red Sea and Suez Canal, with Iran -backed Houthi militia in Yemen after almost two years began attacking ships on the important Middle East transit route. Other automakers are still shipping cars from Asia, and through expensive, expensive, travel around Africa.Last month, at least 14 car-carrying ships traveled to Europe from Chinese ports to Europe from Chinese ports via Red Sea and Suez Canal, according to a new analysis of intelligence. This number traveled in June. Last month, Hothis continued trips even after using drones, grenades and pills to sink two cargo ships. Most of the shipping analysts believe that the Chinese government has reached an understanding with Iran or Hothis not to harm car-carrying ships from China. It seems that “China has found a way to deal with the Iran -backed Hurti rebels, and they have been told that their ships would not be targeted,” said Daniel Nash, the Associate Director of Valuance and Analytics in a sea data firm.Traveling through the Red Sea and Suez Canal survives 14 to 18 days on every round trip between Asia and Europe than going around Africa. It reduces costs for fuel, crew and ships, which reduces itself from a few hundred dollars per car.By moving around Africa, “a ship adds considerable cost to the fuel bill, increasing pollution from the vessel and eventually adding costs for buyers of new cars,” said Rob Willington, a senior analyst of the list of Lloyd, who led the review of visits by car-carrying ships. Ship owners in Europe and Asia refuse most companies to chart their ships for such visits. Commercial insurers in London have becomeware of insuring such visits, charging high rates when they do. The state -owned Saic Motor, earlier known as the Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation, and Byd did not respond to our requests for comments.In addition to Chinese-owned ships, a South Korean company owned several car-carrying ships or Abu Dhabi and a joint venture of businesses in Turkey also left through the Red Sea and Suez Canal after stopping at car-loading ports in China, said Wilmington.In the written reply to the questions, China’s Foreign Ministry did not mention car-carrying ships, but said, “China has been playing an active role in reducing stress since the situation in the Red Sea, and will continue to contribute to the early restoration of peace and peace in the Red Sea.”
