The Associated Press published on 29 January 2025 an article titled "Explosion Forces Crew to Abandon Hong Kong-Flagged Container Ship in the Red Sea" by Jon Gambrell.
A Hong Kong-flagged and owned container ship with Chinese crew experienced an explosion off the coast of Yemen in the Red Sea. The crew safely abandoned ship. Houthi rebels in Yemen declared last week an end to attacks on international shipping and have not acknowledged the incident.
