Dubai terminal operator DP World has been contacted by Yemeni officials to try and help get the Port of Aden get back operating again. Aden has been the centre of bitter fighting in the country’s civil war.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, chairman of DP World, said: “We are exploring areas where we can help our near neighbours in their initiatives to restore critical marine and trade infrastructure at Aden and look forward to developing our discussions in the immediate future.”
A management team from DP World and Jebel Ali FreeZone (JAFZA) will visit Yemen next week to continue the dialogue, review developments in the country and establish areas where assistance can be provided.
