🔺Vindour: Chinese vessels pass through the Bab al-Mandab Strait with ease

◾Vindour Marine Information Company reported that three other vessels linked to China, on 16 Mordad, after docking at ports in Saudi Arabia, moved southward from the Bab al-Mandab Strait, bringing the total number of verified vessels since 29 Tir to 25. None of these vessels was targeted.

◾Vindour had previously reported that vessels linked to China, at the same time as the Houthis’ attack on Saudi oil tankers, had crossed this strait without incident; none of them had turned off its tracking system, and all had continued to broadcast the same signal continuously.

◾This is exactly the opposite of the behavior of Saudi vessels. As of 5 Mordad, the Yanbu port is operating fully in shutdown mode.
