🇪🇬 Egypt
Red Sea · Container Terminal
Voyages to or from Ain Sokhna in Egypt face the highest sustained kinetic threat of any commercial corridor. Since late 2023, Houthi forces in Yemen have attacked vessels in the southern Red Sea and Bab-el-Mandeb strait using anti-ship ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, naval mines, and unmanned surface vehicles. Major container lines have diverted around the Cape of Good Hope at significant cost. The Joint War Committee listed area covers the entire southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, and war risk premiums for transit have surged. Some underwriters now impose Houthi-related exclusion clauses. The corridor also passes through waters adjacent to Eritrea, Sudan, and Somalia — each with distinct port-state instability and sanctions exposure.
Limited port-call data — fewer than 10 distinct vessels observed at Ain Sokhna in the last 180 days. ArcNautical does not publish a vessel-type breakdown for low-traffic ports to avoid statistically misleading percentages.
Ain Sokhna falls under the Mediterranean MoU. The Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding does not publish a public bulk detention feed. Member states (Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia) operate under harmonised PSC protocols. Vessel-level detention probability is computed by ArcNautical using flag-state performance and on-board condition signals.
