YPC holds coalition responsible for catastrophic effects of holding oil ships

SANAA, June 10 (YPA) – The Yemeni Petroleum Company (YPC) on Tuesday held Saudi-led coalition responsible for the consequences of the blockade and the continuous maritime piracy against oil derivatives ships and others in the context of its economic war on Yemeni people.

The company referred, in a statement, that the aggression coalition forces are still holding 15 ships loaded with oil derivatives off Jizan port.

“The aggression coalition forces continue to detain those ships for various periods, some of which up to more than 78 days, despite completing the procedures of the verification and inspection mechanism in Djibouti and obtaining permits from the United Nations to enter the port of Hodeidah,” the statement said.

The company explained that no oil shipment was allowed to enter the Hodeidah port since the arrival of the ship “Destia Pucci” to the port on May 23, which was held for a period exceeding 50 days despite obtaining the UN permit after being delayed arbitrarily for seven days in the port of Djibouti.

In its statement, the company also held the United Nations responsible for the continuous dependence on the temperament of the aggression coalition forces and abandoning its obligations, especially at this stage that requires working hard to support governmental and societal efforts to confront the Corona epidemic.

The statement said “out of keenness to meet the needs of the local market and maintain levels of supply stability for the longest possible period, the company will resort to implement the system of numbering vehicles in the fuel stations from tomorrow morning, Wednesday.”
