Houthi-sunk cargo threatens environment, US military claims.

The United States Navy issued a warning on Saturday, March 2, 2024,.

that the cargo ship that was carrying fertilizer and that sank in the Gulf of Aden after being hit by missiles fired by Houthi rebels in Yemen poses a threat to the environment.

The Houthis have asserted that they were responsible for the attack that took place on February 19, 2024, on the Rubymar, a commercial ship flying the flag of Belize and being run by a Lebanese business. The Rubymar was transporting flammable fertilizer. It was announced on Saturday by the government of Yemen that the ship had sunk.

Late on Saturday night, the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that the ship had “sank in the Red Sea after being struck” by an anti-ship ballistic missile the previous month. The Central Command of the United States (CENTCOM) issued a statement that stated, “The approximately 21,000 tonnes of ammonium phosphate sulfate fertilizer that the ship was carrying pose an environmental risk in the Red Sea.”

According to the report, “the vessel also poses a risk of subsurface impact to other vessels that use the waterway’s busy shipping routes,” which is a concern that the vessel poses because it has sunk.

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the number of container ships that have traveled across the Red Sea has decreased by about a third this year as a result of the ongoing attacks that have been carried out by the Houthi rebels in Yemen. Following its departure from the United Arab Emirates, the Rubymar could be seen making her way to the port of Varna in Bulgaria. Following the impact of two missiles, the crew of the ship had abandoned ship and was subsequently evacuated to a safe location.

Concern has also been voiced by a number of other organizations regarding the environmental risk that the ship poses. Fuel oil can be seen leaking out of the ship in satellite photographs that were given by Maxar Technologies and released by AFP.

The environmental catastrophe that occurred in the territorial seas
That the sinking “would cause an environmental disaster in (Yemeni) territorial waters and in the Red Sea” is what the TankerTrackers website says about the situation. According to the United Kingdom Maritime Terminal Operations (UKMTO), which is led by the British navy, the ship that was targeted was located 35 nautical miles (65 kilometers) away from the port of Mokha in Yemen, which is located in the southwest.

Since November, the Houthis have been carrying out attacks on ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. They have stated that they are acting in sympathy with the Palestinians in Gaza, where Israel is fighting a war against Hamas in retribution for the unprecedented attack that was carried out by the Palestinian movement. On the territory of Israel, on October 6.

A multinational force was established in December by the United States of America, Israel’s primary ally, in response to these attacks. The purpose of this force was to “protect” marine traffic in these critical waterways.

They have launched multiple strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen since January, often with the assistance of the United Kingdom. Yemen is a country that has been suffering a conflict since 2014, pitting the government against the rebels supported by Iran.

Reuters reported on March 2 that ADEN, Yemen On Saturday, the United States military acknowledged that a ship that was owned by the United Kingdom and that had been targeted by Houthi militants a month ago sank in the Red Sea. This news came as the United States military echoed a warning issued by Yemen’s internationally recognized government that the ship’s cargo of dangerous fertilizer presented a risk to marine life.
Since the Houthis began their campaign against commercial ships in November, the Rubymar, which was registered in Belize, is the first vessel to fail to return. Because of these drone and missile attacks, shipping companies have been compelled to reroute their vessels to take the longer route across southern Africa. This has caused disruptions in global trade by delaying deliveries and driving up the costs of carrying goods.
