Coalition releases gas vessel, seizes another: YGC

SANAA, May 08 (YPA) – The Yemen Gas Company (YGC) on Sunday announced that the Saudi-led coalition released a detained gas vessel and held another one.

The company’s official spokesman, Ali Ma’sar, said in a press statement today, that the coalition released the gas ship “Eugenia Gas” that had been held during the month of Ramadan, carrying 8,259 metric tons of imported gas, and is expected to arrive at the port of Hodeida in the coming hours.

He pointed out that while the coalition released the gas vessel Eugenia, it detained the gas vessel “Claudia Gas”, which carried 8,249 metric tons of imported gas.

The coalition insists on piracy on gas ships, despite the issuance of a United Nations permit to them, in flagrant disregard of the terms of the declared UN armistice, Ma’sar added.
