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.
