The Southern Red Sea, Bab el Mandeb and the northern Gulf of Aden
The maritime security level is maintained on MARSEC/ISPS-level 3.
Norwegian authorities strongly advise all Norwegian-flagged vessels to avoid sailing through the southern Red Sea, Bab el-Mandeb, and the Gulf of Aden, if possible, at this time.
The current security situation in the southern part of the Red Sea and northern part of Gulf of Aden is still unpredictable and the NMA maintains MARSEC/ISPS 3 for the following areas:
- The southern Red Sea (South of N018° 00’)
- Bab el Mandeb
- Yemeni TTW and the traffic separation zone in the Gulf of Aden (East to E053°00’)
