Danish shipping company Maersk has said it is pausing all journeys through the Red Sea.
The decision comes after a spate of attacks on vessels launched from a part of Yemen controlled by the Houthis - an Iran-backed rebel movement.
The group has declared its support for Hamas and say it is targeting ships travelling to Israel.
The Red Sea is one the world's most important routes for oil and fuel shipments.
German transport company Hapag-Lloyd later said it was making a similar move.

Just got wind of Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd temporarily suspending Red Sea journeys due to recent attacks. It's a stark reminder of how geopolitical tensions can disrupt global shipping. I'm hoping for swift resolutions that prioritize safety and stability in these crucial maritime routes. Speaking of shipping, I'm in Delhi right now and want to send a parcel to my Canadian friends.
