The purpose of this NESPAK-led joint venture was to develop the Port of Mokha to facilitate its operations. The Port of Mokha, which is situated to the south of the Hodeidah port between Aden and Hodeidah, consisted of one 175 m long and 35 m wide berth allowing for vessels to anchor either side. This port has a total of four sheds and is limited in any cargo handling equipment; therefore, vessels calling at this port must have their own gear. There are no alongside bunker or fresh water facilities at this port although fresh water and diesel oil can be arranged in limited supply via road tankers.
