DateRecordWhat changedWhy
2026-09-20Houthi embargo on Saudi shipping and attacks at Bab el-MandebRemoved the two effect targets and set no_effect_reason to insufficient_baseline. Reworded the severity basis to say it is a plain comparison of PortWatch averages, not a method figure.The effect engine could not build a baseline because the ongoing Red Sea diversion event covers the same chokepoint for the whole baseline period, so the effect section would have read as pending indefinitely.
2026-09-20Houthi embargo on Saudi shipping and attacks at Bab el-MandebRestored the two effect targets and removed no_effect_reason. The severity basis now cites the method figures instead of a plain comparison.The effect method was amended the same day (wfm-effect-1.1, ambient events), so a baseline can now be built for an event inside the long-running Red Sea diversion. The figures are measured on top of that disruption and the page says so.
2026-09-20Houthi embargo on Saudi shipping and attacks at Bab el-MandebLowered severity from 4 to 3 and reworded the severity basis.The measured fall in total transits (23 percent) is below the 25 percent the rubric needs for level 4, and the standardised scores are weak, so the record is rated on the level 3 criterion of a restriction at a chokepoint.
2026-09-20Drone attacks halt oil loadings at Ust-Luga and PrimorskRemoved the two effect targets and set no_effect_reason to insufficient_baseline.The effect engine could not build a baseline for either series, so the effect section would have read as pending indefinitely.
