YPC: Vessel BRUNO arrives at Hodeidah port, after 57 days of being detained

HODEIDAH, May 20 (YPA) – The Yemeni Petroleum company (YPC) announced on Tuesday that Vessel BRUNO, loaded with 29,961 tons of diesel, has arrived at the port of Hodeidah, after being detained by Saudi-led coalition for 57 days.

A statement issued by the company said that the coalition is still holding 11 oil vessels, with a total tonnage of 170,489 tons of benzene and 124,106 tons of diesel in eleven ships detained for varying periods. Some have been detained for more than 56 days in light of the need for these materials inside Yemen.

The company pointed out that the alliance deliberately prevents the entry of food and medicine vessels to the port of Hodeidah, despite obtaining United Nations permits, striving to tighten the screws on citizens and deepen their suffering directly, in addition to depriving them of the possibility of benefiting from low oil prices.
