Additionally, the U.N. Security Council imposed an arms embargo targeting the Iran-allied Houthi rebels. The Club have now received an update from the Aden Correspondent, GAC, as follows: QUOTE   There has not been any major changes in the situation in Yemen however as we have been getting so many enquiries wish to state the below. Aden port is still closed and below are the other ports in Yemen   1)      Hodeidah port. 2)      Saleef port. 3)      Mokha port. 4)      Ras Isa port (loading port for crude oil).   These ports are working normally although there is high security levels at these ports and all vessels need to be cleared by the Saudi coalition prior to entering any of the Yemeni ports.  It is still a war zone and there is nothing further we can advise other than to be very cautious while going to any port in Yemen.   The information entry to Yemeni water:   Please be informed that any vessel calling Yemeni ports should be getting on entry permission from Ministry of Transport by the ships agent or receivers, before the vessel’s arrival to Bab Al-Mandab.                                 &nbsp
