KOPENHAGEN. There has been a significant rise in CO₂ emissions from container ships operating in the EU. This is based on EU data, which also includes journeys outside of Europe. Sea-Intelligence, the Danish analysis company, assumes that the Houthi militia is partly responsible for the increase. As a result of the militia attacks, ships have been taking longer routes around the Cape of Good Hope – thereby harming the climate. According to the data, the container ships listed in the EU database emitted 52.8 million tonnes of CO₂ last year. This is equivalent to a rise of 46 per cent year-on-year.
