LONDON, Dec 18 (Reuters) - Taiwan's Yang Ming Marine
Transport Corporation will divert any of its ships sailing
through the Red Sea of Gulf of Aden via the Cape of Good Hope
for the next two weeks amid escalating attacks on ships, the
company said on Monday.
    "For our vessels currently or potentially sailing through
high-risk maritime area in the next two weeks, there will be an
immediate diversion around the Cape of Good Hope, or waiting in
a safe location," it said in a customer advisory.
    "We will continue to closely monitor the situation in the
high-risk region and will make real-time, adaptive adjustments
to our vessels and routes in response to changes in the
situation, ensuring the safety of the transportation."
