Tanker directed to Suez Canal for safety reasons
The 'Torm Innovation' was sailing to Asia via the Suez Canal with its cargo, the vessel's owner Torm said on July 24, 2026, following Houthi threats to shipping in the southern Red Sea. The 'Torm Innovation' had loaded a cargo of about 500,000 barrels of naphtha at the port of Yanbu, with Japan as its destination. It transited the waterway on July 26. Yemen's Iran-aligned outhis declared on July 20 a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia, opening a potential new front against the US in the Iran war and expanding the threat to global energy supplies and trade beyond the Persian Gulf. Given the security situation in the southern part of the Red Sea, the tanker was sailing via the Suez Canal and around the Cape to Asia, reflecting the owner's cautious approach to crew safety, which remained its highest priority. Torm had suspended transits through the southern part of the Red Sea since January 2024, and, only after careful case-by-case assessments had a few vessels transiting during the summer.
