Lloyd's List Intelligence's 3 September Red Sea Brief recorded about 290 ships through the northern Red Sea chokepoint in the week of 24-30 August - roughly 30% above 2025 levels though still 36% below normal. Bab el Mandeb saw 302 transits (17-23 Aug); renewed Houthi threats have not derailed the recovery, with no attacks reported since 24 August, encouraging more carriers to resume the shorter Asia-Europe routing.
