The attacks have shifted focus from Israeli-linked vessels to those with American or British ties, prompting changes in shipping routes and increased costs. The Suez Canal's revenues have dropped by 44%, and ship operators are implementing various measures to mitigate the risks, including armed security teams and altering tracking systems.
