Domestic ports in Yemen have been shut down along with continuously political conflicts. Despite of short period of temporary openness afterwards, merchant ships come and go between Yemen and other ports, and cargoes transported still remained unsafe.
What’s worse, cargo transportation is forced to shut down due to uncertain authority of Yemeni ports.
If the turbulent situation continues in Yemen, greater impacts will be made on export business. Therefore, if you have any shipping arrangement to Yemeni ports, please pay attention to notices from shipping companies and make shipping plans in advance in case of emergency.
