The Yemen Petroleum Company (YPC) announced on Friday the arrival of a “Baxter” ship carrying 29,475 tons of gasoline to the port of Hodeidah, after being arbitrarily detained by the aggression for 104 days.
The YPC said in a statement received by Saba that the total fines accumulated on the ship for its detention amounted to $2.288,000.
The statement explained that the laboratory testing procedures are currently being completed to ensure that the ship’s cargo conforms to the approved specifications so that the unloading process can begin.
It noted that the aggression is still holding nine oil derivatives ships with a maximum detention period of more than 262 days of unprecedented maritime piracy despite receiving entry permits from the United Nations.
