Vessel traffic slows to trickle at Yemen’s stricken ports

• New traceable port calls in Hodeidah and Al Salif fall to lowest levels in over a year; no new arrivals in Al Salif since early May
• Israeli officials reportedly estimated that the May 16 air strikes would cripple Al Saleef and Hodeidah for a month
• Four vessels that were berthed at Al Salif and Hodeidah when the ports were struck by Israel on May 16 are still berthed, suggesting cargo operations are still hampered
• However, some berths in Hodeidah appear to have resumed operations, with four vessels arriving over the past six days
