The Houthis have set up an email verification system for ships for those who want to pass through the Red Sea safely. The captains provide information about the vessel and state that they have no ties to the US, UK, Israel or Saudi Arabia. The Houthis usually respond within 24 hours, issuing seven-day transit permits and navigation instructions.
