Saudi Arabia bars 47,000 tonnes wheat vessel from entering Yemeni port

audi-led coalition have blocked a vessel carrying more than 47,000 tonnes of wheat from entering a Yemeni port, demanding United Nations guarantees that cargo would not go to military personnel. Ocean Marine Services, which acts as the Yemen-based agent for the ship, said in a letter to the director of the Yemeni Red Sea Ports Authority, that the Lycavitos, carrying 47,250 tonnes of wheat, had been stopped from entering al-Saleef port, north of Hodeidah on Wednesday night, on the grounds that all Yemeni ports were off limits to shipping. “As official bodies, we appeal to you to communicate with whoever may be in charge to find a quick solution to the problem, as the wheat commodity is a nutritional and strategic commodity important for the livelihood of the (Yemeni) people,” the Ocean Marine Services letter said. Officials from the Saudi-led coalition could not immediately be reached for a comment. UK-based Helikon Shipping Enterprises Ltd, which acts as owner’s agent for the Lycavitos, said the ship had been loaded with wheat from the west coast of the United States intended for discharge at Saleef and Hodeida ports. http://customstoday.com.pk/saudi-arabia-bars-47000-tonnes-wheat-vessel-from-entering-yemeni-port/
