YPC: Coalition seizes oil ship loaded with over 29,000 tons of diesel

SANAA, Aug. 17 (YPA) – The Yemeni Petroleum Company (YPC) on Tuesday said that the Saudi-led coalition is seizing the ship “Harvest”, which is loaded with 29,727 tons of diesel and intended for public consumption.

“The coalition is preventing the ship from reaching the port of Hodeida despite its humanitarian nature and the fact that it obtained a United Nations permit after it was inspected,” the company added in a statement.

The company made it clear that after this ship was held, the number of oil ships held by the coalition rose to 5.
