The Petroleum Company and the Ministries of Health and Agriculture organized a protest to denounce the continued piracy and seizure of fuel ships heading to the port of Hodeidah by the US-Saudi aggression.
The protest was organized in front of the United Nations office in the capital, Sana’a, on Wednesday.
A statement by the Petroleum Company confirmed that all ships arriving at the port of Hodeidah are subjected to piracy and detention for varying periods. It pointed out that the fines for delay during the two truce periods amounted to more than 4.5 million dollars.
The statement pointed out that during the two truce periods, only 24 out of 36 fuel ships reached the port of Hodeidah.
The company added that three fuel vessels are still in custody, including two petrol and diesel vessels and a gas vessel.
The Yemen Petroleum Company called on the United Nations to assume its full responsibilities and oblige the coalition of aggression to release the detained ships and stop piracy and arbitrary detention.
