Re: Shipping & Ports the Supply Chain Problems

We have seen ships and trucks delay or stop shipping of goods as well as reduced workforce, but we can now add power as well since the inventories of the warehouse cannot receive orders let alone fill them.

Paul Abramowitz warned that all drug classes are vulnerable to drug shortages, he said that "some of the most worrying shortages involve generic sterile injectable medications, including cancer chemotherapy drugs and emergency medications stored in hospital crash carts and procedural areas." Short-term shortages are caused by demand outstripping supply, but "the most severe and persistent shortages are driven by economic factors that undermine investment in manufacturing capacity, manufacturing quality, and supply chain reliability," according to a separate report from the ASHP.

Yemen's Houthi rebels claim downing US Reaper drone, release footage showing wreckage of aircraft
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/hout … 35895.html

Reuters is reporting

'US says warship Mason intercepted Houthi missile, vessel Destiny untouched'

The U.S. navy's destroyer the USS Mason intercepted an inbound Houthi anti-ship missile, the U.S. forces also destroyed two drones, Central Command said.

Yemen footage many years ago seemed to show raghag bandit terrorist type groups on camels with Ak-47s ready to fight each other, while being bombed from above by the Saudi, lately their equipment seems to be getting better and better so I wonder how much Western gun technology is gifted from Afghanistan is used in their battles, there are foreign Saudi, Bahrain, Morocco losses, Bahrain, along with Russia and other members of the UN human rights council, opposed the council's investigations into the war crimes in Yemen. There is also an ISIS in Arabia and Afghanistan and Al-qaeda of Afghanistan and Al-qaeda in the Arabian Peninsulathe perhaps have some relatively high tech equipment from Iran and Russia.

they news seems to indicate it was close, they did not say Mason was not showered with debris.  The Mason has been in this Suez area before, it made history when the first time in history a warship destroyed an inbound anti-ship missile with a SAM in actual self-defense. The Mason has responded to damaged or sinking commercial ships or ship's distress call and rendered assistance

This may have been a very close call

Reuters could not independently verify the Houthis' claim of having attacked the two vessels.

Months of Houthi action in the Red Sea have disrupted global shipping, forcing firms to re-route to longer and more expensive journeys around southern Africa, and stoked fears that the Israel-Hamas war could destabilise the wider Middle East.

The United States and Britain have carried out strikes against Houthi targets in response to the attacks on shipping.
