UN Bears Full Responsibility for Blockade Imposed on Port

The Director General of Hodeidah Port Customs, Abdullah Mohammed Habib, stressed, Saturday, that UN must bear all responsibility and is solely responsible for the blockade imposed on the port of Hodeidah.

Abdullah Habib explained that all transport and cargo ships were transferred from the port of Hodeidah to the port of Aden due to the blockade, while the port of Hodeidah can accommodate all types of ships.

He stressed that merchants should pressure the shipping companies to take advantage of the reduction in customs tariffs at the port of Hodeidah.

He pointed out that the facilities in Hodeidah port are not found in any other port and customs authorities in Sana’a have used a new system that authorizes merchants to use it via the Internet.
