 21 days since the arrival of the oil derivatives ship (Caesar) to the port of Hodeidah, until its docking on the berth, while the ship (Sea Harft) has spent 6 days since its arrival at the port, in the list of ships waiting in the draft for docking.

The two ships are carrying (54,700) tons of gasoline, and their unloading may lead to an expected breakthrough in the gasoline crisis and reduce the price of a 20-liter can of gasoline currently sold at 12,600 riyals.

The data on the movement of ships in the port of Hodeidah (western Yemen) indicates that the Houthi militia - the Iranian arm in Yemen - deliberately delayed the unloading of ships arriving at the port and created multiple obstacles in front of each ship.

 The tables reveal the arrival of the ship (Caesar) to the port on Monday, April 4, 2022 AD, and its transfer from the waiting state in the draft, to berth No. 2 on Friday, April 22, 2022, which means that it remains in a state of waiting for docking for a period of 21 days.

Likewise, the ship (Sea Heart) completes on Monday, April 25, 2022 l, its sixth day in the schedule of ships waiting in the draft for mooring, with a shipment of (gasoline) 28,528 tons.

The head of the Presidential Command Council in Yemen, Rashad Al-Alimi, revealed in his speech to Parliament, on Tuesday, April 20, 2022, that seven oil derivatives ships had entered the port of Hodeidah since the entry into force of the armistice, and it was agreed to enter them without paying any customs or taxes to the state.

Al-Alimi said: "Since the entry into force of the truce, seven ships have arrived at the port of Hodeidah, their customs and tax duties amounting to about 26 billion riyals, and the total fees of the 18 ships agreed upon in the approved truce plan amounting to about 90 billion riyals," stressing that all these revenues should be devoted to paying salaries.  Civil sector employees in the areas under the control of the coup.

The Houthi militia announced the entry of 5 oil derivatives ships, and raised the price of a 20-liter can of gasoline from 9,900 riyals before the truce was announced, to 12,600 riyals, an increase of 2,700 riyals, in a price dose that disappointed the hopes of citizens in Sanaa and its neighboring provinces.

The Houthi militia's announcement, on Sunday, April 10, 2022, of the new price of gasoline shocked the street in Sanaa and the neighboring governorates, and the Houthi dose of gasoline came 10 days after the announcement of the truce agreed upon for two consecutive months, including the entry of 18 ships of oil derivatives to  Hodeidah port.
