Business chiefs warned on January 17 that disruption to shipping in the Red Sea caused by attacks by Yemen's Houthi militants could affect supply chains for months and lead to a shortage of tankers needed to transport fuel. Attacks by the Iran-allied Houthi militia on ships in the region since November have slowed trade between Asia and Europe and alarmed major powers — an escalation of Israel's more than three-month-old war with Palestinian Hamas militants in Gaza.

The Port of Baltimore channel could fully reopen this weekend after nearly 11 weeks of painstaking operations to remove massive pieces of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge that have been blocking much of the crucial shipping artery. The entire 700-foot wide channel is expected to reopen between Saturday and Monday, a step made possible by the removal of the last piece of steel bridge that has been blocking the channel since its collapse in March, the Unified Command said in an update.
