What makes Yemen tricky
- Conflict conditions make Yemen a high-risk, often impractical destination — verify feasibility and security first.
- Ongoing conflict and security/insurance constraints heavily restrict shipments to Yemen — confirm feasibility before any enquiry.
- Aden and Hodeidah are the seaports; routing, war-risk insurance, and security drive every decision.
