Coast Guard intercepts smuggling oil tanker
The Yemeni Coast Guard intercepted the oil tanker "Nerida," which flies the flag of Comoros, after it departed from the port of Ras Issa, controlled by the Houthis. The ship unloaded its cargo without coordinating with Yemeni authorities or following the United Nations verification and inspection mechanism. The tanker deliberately disabled its Automatic Identification System (AIS) during the voyage and faced interference in the Gulf of Aden, where shots were fired at a patrol boat. The vessel then pretended to be tracking and was subsequently directed to the port of Aden. An investigation is ongoing regarding the route taken, the cargo, and the methods used to gain access to the ship, as part of efforts to enforce Security Council sanctions that prohibit arms and equipment supplies to the Houthis, and to tighten inspections of suspicious shipments to Yemen.
