British Global Risk Management firm Ambrey continue to advise ship owners and operators to carry out a "thorough affiliation check" before transiting Aden Gulf and the Red Sea area "as the Houthi rebels may associate vessels with out-of-date affiliations".
Since November, the rebel group has been carrying out attacks on ships they say are linked to Israel in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, saying their actions are in support of the Palestinians in Gaza.
The US and the UK have carried out a series of attacks on Houthi targets inside Yemen in response, leading the Houthis to retaliate against ships it believes are linked to those countries.
The rebels' attacks on merchant vessels in the Red Sea have prompted many shipping companies to stop using the waterway, through which about 12% of global seaborne trade passes.
US Central Command confirmed on Friday that Andromeda Star was the ship
That was damaged in a missile attack off the coast of Yemen - the latest strike to be carried out by the Houthis.
Andromeda Star had suffered minor damage and was continuing its voyage.
Ambrey reported that the tanker in question was owned by the UK until November 2023.
Its current owner is Seychelles-registered and was engaged in Russia-linked trade - travelling from the Russia town of Primorsk to Vadinar, in the Indian state of Gujarat, when the attack happened.
