In a renewed response to escalating tensions in the region, six additional vessels have altered their courses to evade potential Houthi attacks. This follows similar actions taken on July 21, 2026, when ships were observed reversing their routes. On July 22, the developments included the Marshall Islands-flagged vehicle carrier 'Liu Jiang Kou' (IMO: 9991795), which began sailing eastward within the Maritime Transit Security Corridor (MTSC) as it exited the Gulf of Aden. Additionally, the Russian-flagged products tanker 'Trust' (IMO: 9382798), currently under EU, UK, and US sanctions, dropped anchor off the coast of Jeddah. The Singapore-flagged products tanker 'Navig8 Express' (IMO: 9976874) also made a course reversal, retracing its route back to Yanbu. Meanwhile, the Liberia-flagged tanker 'Mica' (IMO: 9399935), previously bound from Port Suez to Sohar, was reported to have paused near Jizan. The Maltese-flagged Suezmax ship 'Agios Gerasimos' (IMO: 9693056) redirected towards the head of the Sumed Pipeline at Ain Sukhna. Additionally, the vessel known as 'Amazon' was seen navigating northward toward the Suez Canal, indicating a pattern of cautious navigation amidst ongoing threats.
