Background Since 2015, Yemen has been experiencing one of the world's worst protracted humanitarian and development crises. GDP per capita declined from USD1,557.6 in 2014 to USD 650.3 in 2022 (World Bank). The war has caused government fragmentation, severe economic decline, food insecurity, damage to infrastructure, the collapse of essential services, and 4.5 million people are estimated to remain displaced (OCHA 2023). As per the 2024 Humanitarian Response Plan, 18.2 million people – more than half of the entire population - require some form of humanitarian aid and protection, over 17.6 million people were food insecure. Due to the conflict and other factors, Yemen has increasingly relied upon food imports to feed its people. The Port of Aden under the Yemen Gulf of Aden Ports Corporation (YGAPC) and the Port of Mukalla under the Yemen Arabian Sea Ports Corporation (YASPC) form essential maritime facilities aiding humanitarian activities in Yemen. The ports serve as the main gateway for all cargo entering Yemen. The Port of Aden receives around 50 ships per month carrying fuel, food (90 per cent of Yemen’s food is imported), construction materials and other goods. The Port of Mukalla, in 2020, was handling 40,000 TEU per year. Both ports have been affected by the protracted conflict and lack of maintenance. Due to the absence of investment, spare parts, maintenance, and outdated systems for port operations, both ports have limited capacity to handle incoming vessels, leading to excessive anchorage and berthing times. This initiative intends to enhance anchorage and berthing capacities at the Ports of Aden and Mukalla by reducing average monthly waiting times. The project aims at strengthening the operational capacity of the Ports of Aden and Mukalla through the rehabilitation of damaged facilities and procurement of necessary parts and equipment to contribute to the efficient and cost-effective delivery of humanitarian assistance to the Yemeni population.
