胡塞武装已控制梅云岛及也门海岸的其他地区，宣布除沙特船只外其他船舶可自由通行1。这一军事举动虽未导致红海船运量出现大幅下滑，但对埃及经济造成了直接冲击1。任何红海航运减少都会影响苏伊士运河的通行费收入，而该运河是埃及最重要的收入来源之一1。
具体而言，红海曼德海峡的船队通行量已从七月中旬的日均47艘下降至九月中旬的21艘1。这种变化直接反映在苏伊士运河的收益数据上：2024年运河收入下降约60亿美元，相比危机前2023年的年收入90-100亿美元有明显萎缩1。此外，沙特东西向管道因故停运数周，该管道日常运输量为400-500万桶石油，其中断可能影响全球供应的4%1。
埃及陷入两难困境1。一方面，埃及需要维持与沙特的同盟关系；另一方面，任何进一步升级都可能带来更大的经济损失1。埃及于9月14日拒绝了胡塞武装提出的直接谈判提议1，而沙特王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼已于周二访问开罗，寻求埃及的支持1。
The Houthi movement has seized control of Perim Island and other strategic locations along Yemen's coastline, positioning itself to significantly impact maritime commerce in one of the world's most critical shipping corridors. 1 While declaring that vessels excluding Saudi ships may transit freely, the group's military hold over the Red Sea entrance creates substantial economic headwinds for Egypt, whose Suez Canal revenues depend heavily on maintaining robust shipping volumes through the waterway. 1
The financial implications are already evident. Suez Canal revenues declined by approximately $6 billion in 2024 compared to pre-crisis levels of $90-100 billion annually in 2023, reflecting reduced traffic as shipping companies reroute around the region. 1 Traffic through the Strait of Mandeb fell sharply, with an average of 21 vessels per day passing through in mid-September compared to 47 vessels daily in mid-July. 1 For the 2025-2026 fiscal year, the canal authority projects revenues of $46.7 billion, representing a 23 percent increase, though this remains uncertain given ongoing regional tensions. 1
Egypt faces a delicate diplomatic balancing act between maintaining its alliance with Saudi Arabia and mitigating potential further economic losses from escalating conflict. 1 The country rejected a Houthi proposal for direct negotiations through the International Maritime Organization in London on September 14. 1 Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman visited Cairo on Tuesday to seek Egyptian support, underscoring Riyadh's interest in securing Cairo's backing amid the maritime disruptions. 1 The broader economic stakes extend beyond Egypt, with Saudi Arabia's east-west pipeline—which normally transports 4-5 million barrels of oil daily—halted for at least several weeks, potentially affecting up to 4 percent of global supply. 1
