🇾🇪 Yemen
Red Sea · Multi-Purpose Port
Yemen is under UN, EU, and OFAC sanctions including Houthi-related measures (UNSCR 2140).
Voyages to or from Aden in Yemen face the highest sustained kinetic threat of any commercial corridor. Since late 2023, Houthi forces in Yemen have attacked vessels in the southern Red Sea and Bab-el-Mandeb strait using anti-ship ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, naval mines, and unmanned surface vehicles. Major container lines have diverted around the Cape of Good Hope at significant cost. The Joint War Committee listed area covers the entire southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, and war risk premiums for transit have surged. Some underwriters now impose Houthi-related exclusion clauses. The corridor also passes through waters adjacent to Eritrea, Sudan, and Somalia — each with distinct port-state instability and sanctions exposure.
No port-call data observed at Aden in the last 180 days. ArcNautical's AIS coverage focuses on the world's commercial shipping lanes; smaller or specialised ports may not register sufficient traffic for a meaningful breakdown.
Yemen is a multi-MoU jurisdiction (its port states participate in more than one regional PSC programme). Vessel-level detention probability for calls at Aden is computed by ArcNautical's scoring engine using flag performance, vessel age, deficiency history, and ownership opacity rather than a regional aggregate.
