31 Jul 2015 / Yemen, Aden

Rebel shelling effectively closes port

The port of Aden is effectively closed today (30 March), except for some oil shipments at Aden Refinery, due to shelling by Houthi rebel troops. Dry cargo shipments have been halted due to the fact that no stevedores are available. Fierce street battles are going on between rebels and local resistance. Yemeni Red Sea ports are operating as normal, however, as there are no hostilities at these areas. Offshore terminals are also operational.
