The port of Hodeidah (Al Hudaydah) is one of the most important ports in the Middle Eastern country of Yemen. Located on the Red Sea, Hodeidah serves as the main overseas car shipping port in Yemen. While the port of Aden is the major port in Yemen, over the years the port of Hodeidah has experienced an increase in development. In 1961 an improved road between the port and the capital city of Sana’a was built to help facilitate the ease of imports and exports through the port. A fire in early 1961 destroyed most of the city, and the rebuilding of the road helped to secure the city as an economic hub for international commerce. Today the total number of ships and cargo arriving into the berths of Hodeidah has continued to increase.
With connections to the capital, the port of Hodeidah offers strategic international shipping services to all of Yemen. Today, international car shipping service to Yemen is very popular and affordable. However, due to government regulations, the import of cars must follow very strict guidelines. In order to ship cars to Yemen, the car cannot be any older than 7 years and cannot be damaged and/or salvaged. In addition to handling the importation of cars, the port is also capable of handling international high heavy shipments of construction equipment and machinery into Yemen.
