THE Marshall Islands-flagged 55,317-dwt Genco Picardy bulker, owned by New York's Genco Shipping & Trading, became the third ship in four days to be hit by a Yemeni drone, reports Singapore's Splash 247.
The ship sustained minor damage with no crew injured and it was able to continue on its journey assisted by a nearby Indian naval vessel.
In response, US ships and submarines fired at Houthi positions in Yemen. Fourteen missile sites were targeted at around 11.59pm local time, said Florida-based US Central Command.
Three of the world's largest shipping companies, Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK), Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) and Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha ("K" Line), all three from Japan and with a combined fleet of more than 1,800 ships, have become the latest big names to suspend navigation through the Red Sea.
Vincent Clerc, the CEO of Danish liner giant Maersk, warned yesterday while attending the World Economic Forum in Davos that the disruption would continue for months.
