Increases to port tariffs

Yemen Red Sea Ports Corporation has announced the implementation of some increases to tariffs at the port of Hodeidah, to come into effect from 1 June 2017.

In its notice announcing the increases, the Corporation states that the port has experienced financial difficulties and challenges because of the blockade as well as big price increases for petroleum prices, oil spare parts and other aspects, resulting in a deficiency and not being able to cover it expenses since 2015 to date. It is therefore necessary to implement increases to some tariffs.

These increases apply to:

  • Tug Boats and Floating Marines fees
  • Services of stable and mobile cranes for general cargoes
  • Breaches and Penalties in USD
  • Ton fee on typical imports (container) in Temeni Ral (YR)
  • Storage wages (containers floor) Typical Imports (Container) in YR
