YPC: US-Saudi Aggression Detains Six Fuel Tankers for Nearly Five Months

The Yemen Petroleum Company confirmed that the US-Saudi aggression continues to detain six fuel tankers carrying 144,667 tons of fuel for nearly five months.

In a statement, the company stated that the forces of aggression seized 6 fuel tankers, including one carrying domestic gas, and five other tankers carrying (135,179) tons of diesel and mazut.

It indicated that the detention period of these tankers amounted to “143” days, despite the fact that all of these tankers completed all examination and audit procedures through the mechanism of the Djibouti Verification and Inspection Mission (UNVIM) and obtained UN permits.

The company’s statement noted that “the continuation of criminal piracy and its various catastrophic repercussions has not been matched by any serious and tangible move by the United Nations, as it is the international body concerned with facilitating the entry of imports of basic goods.”

On Thursday, the Yemen Petroleum company confirmed that the US-Saudi aggression continues to piracy operations of fuel derivatives tankers.

“Fines of the detention of oil derivatives tankers exceeded one million and 500 thousand dollars,” the spokesman of the company Issam Al-Mutawakel said.

The company contacted international organizations and the United Nations, but did not receive any response, Al-Mutawakel emphasized, adding that the meetings with United Nations officials confirmed that the blockade on Yemen and the port of Hodeidah is a completely American decision.
