Port Overview

Hodeidah Port (UN/LOCODE: YEHOD)

Our platform classifies Hodeidah as a seaport on Yemen’s Red Sea coast, positioned at the southern end of Khawr Katib and approximately 92 nautical miles south of the Saudi Arabian border. It is a strategically relevant gateway for Yemen-bound cargo, particularly bulk, break-bulk, petroleum-related and general commercial shipments. The port’s inner harbour is described as L-shaped and includes oil-terminal dolphins, Ras Katib power-station tanker CBMs and a naval pier. The main harbour record indicates a maximum LOA of 200 metres and a maximum draft of 9.75 metres. Because berth allocation, navigational restrictions, security conditions and carrier acceptance may change, our service team confirms vessel suitability and operational status before every booking.

Key Highlights

Key Logistics Characteristics

Red Sea accessHodeidah is suited to Yemen cargo requiring Red Sea maritime access, subject to vessel, carrier and security acceptance.

Mixed cargo profileThe port record identifies break-bulk, tanker, container and Ro-Ro vessel activity rather than a single-purpose terminal profile.

Draft-sensitive planningMain-harbour limits are below the maximum dimensions of some recorded vessels; draft, LOA and berth suitability must be checked case by case.

Energy-related facilitiesOil dolphins and power-station tanker CBMs require separate review of cargo compatibility, vessel dimensions and terminal instructions.

Operational volatilitySecurity, port access, inspections, documentation and carrier acceptance can materially affect routing and delivery planning.

Facilities & Services

Facilities and Cargo Handling Scope

Main harbour: The supplied port record describes an L-shaped inner harbour with a maximum main-harbour LOA of 200 metres and maximum draft of 9.75 metres. Final berth and sailing approval remain subject to the port and carrier.
Oil handling: Oil-terminal dolphins are identified with a maximum LOA of 150 metres, maximum draft of 9 metres and maximum deadweight of 15,000 tonnes in the supplied record. Petroleum cargo requires separate terminal and dangerous-goods confirmation.
Power-station tanker facility: Ras Katib power-station CBMs are recorded with a maximum LOA of 105 metres, maximum draft of 5.2 metres and maximum deadweight of 5,000 tonnes.
Cargo categories: The port handles or has recorded activity involving break-bulk, containers, tankers and Ro-Ro vessels. Equipment availability, lifting limits and handling windows must be confirmed for each shipment.
Inland connection: Our team arranges the port-to-destination leg through locally confirmed road resources where available. Cargo release, road access, escorts and delivery permissions should be verified before dispatch.

Routes & Transit Times

Routing and Transit-Time Planning

Typical planning considers feeder, regional transshipment or other carrier-approved Red Sea connections, depending on the origin, cargo type, vessel deployment and current operating conditions. Our platform does not promise a direct service, fixed sailing frequency or fixed transit time.
Potential origin regions include Asia, the Indian subcontinent, the Gulf and other Red Sea-linked markets, but actual port rotation and acceptance must be obtained from the nominated carrier or local agent.
Transit time is affected by transshipment availability, vessel draft restrictions, berth congestion, weather, security measures, inspection requirements, documentation readiness and inland delivery permissions.
For time-sensitive cargo, our service team compares YEHOD with alternative Yemen or regional gateway solutions after reviewing the final destination, cargo restrictions, carrier coverage and last-mile feasibility.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Hinterland and Main Cargo Flows

Hinterland: The port primarily supports cargo moving to and from Hodeidah and other Yemen destinations reachable through approved inland corridors. The practical delivery area depends on road security, permits, local handling capacity and consignee location.
Imports: The supplied port data identifies rice, grain, flour, petroleum and fuel oils, metals, hardware, timber, building materials and machinery as principal import categories.
Exports: Listed export commodities include coffee, hides and skins, myrrh, sesame oil, dried fruit, seeds, nuts and tobacco.
Bulk and project cargo: Food commodities, construction materials, machinery and energy-related cargo may require careful stowage, moisture protection, lifting review, inspection coordination and delivery sequencing.
Volume context: The supplied record states approximately 5.7 million tonnes of cargo, including 1 million tonnes of petroleum products. Our team treats these figures as record-level reference data and confirms current operating conditions before using them for capacity planning.

Operations & Compliance

Operational and Compliance Controls

Booking and cut-offs: Carrier booking cut-off, cargo receiving, documentation cut-off, VGM submission and terminal acceptance are not assumed from standard schedules. Our service team obtains the shipment-specific deadlines in writing and builds contingency time into the plan.
Dangerous goods: Fuel, petroleum products, chemicals, batteries and other regulated cargo require accurate UN numbers, proper shipping names, classes, packing groups, SDS and carrier approval. Terminal acceptance must be secured before dispatch.
Customs and inspection: Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, import permits, transport documents and any commodity-specific approvals should be consistent. Customs or security inspections may delay release, so the consignee should be ready to respond promptly.
Vessel and inland restrictions: Draft, LOA, deadweight, cargo dimensions, road access and delivery permissions must be matched to the selected facility. Local security instructions and operating windows are time-sensitive and require confirmation before sailing.

Shipping Tips

Practical Shipping Recommendations

Send the complete cargo profile before quotation: commodity, HS code, packages, gross weight, dimensions, cargo value, temperature requirements, dangerous-goods status and final delivery address.
For project, break-bulk or heavy-lift cargo, provide drawings, centre-of-gravity details, lifting points, packing certificates and photographs so our team can seek vessel and terminal approval before booking.
Use seaworthy, moisture-resistant packaging for grain products, machinery, timber and building materials. Mark packages clearly with consignee details, handling instructions and total package count.
For critical shipments, request a contingency routing review before cargo readiness. Alternative gateways, transshipment options and inland delivery plans should be compared only after carrier acceptance and current security conditions are verified.

FAQs

Hodeidah Port Shipping FAQs

Q: Can our container shipment be booked directly to YEHOD?

A: It may be possible depending on the carrier, origin, current port acceptance and cargo type. Our service team checks the actual sailing option, transshipment arrangement, documentation cut-offs and destination delivery feasibility before confirming.

Q: What vessel dimensions should be used for planning?

A: The supplied record gives the main harbour a maximum LOA of 200 metres and maximum draft of 9.75 metres. These are planning references, not blanket approval; the carrier and port must confirm vessel-specific suitability.

Q: Are petroleum products accepted at Hodeidah?

A: Petroleum products are identified in the port cargo profile, and oil dolphins are described in the supplied data. Acceptance depends on the exact product, quantity, vessel, dangerous-goods documentation, terminal approval and prevailing operating conditions.

Q: How early should documents be submitted?

A: Submit draft commercial, cargo and compliance documents as early as possible. The actual customs, carrier and terminal deadlines vary by shipment, and late corrections can affect booking, inspection and release.

Data Sources & Provenance

Data Sources and Verification Boundary

Port code, port name, country, city, coordinates, cargo profile and dimensional figures in this module are based primarily on the supplied YEHOD port record. Facility limits, cargo throughput figures and recorded vessel dimensions are presented as record-level reference data and should not be treated as a current guarantee of berth availability, terminal capacity or sailing permission.

The UN/LOCODE reference framework can be consulted through unece.org. This reference does not replace confirmation from the carrier, port representative, terminal, customs authority or local agent.

Our service team verifies current routing, security status, carrier acceptance, dangerous-goods approval, cut-offs, inspection requirements, inland access and delivery conditions for each shipment before operational commitment.
