The Port of Aden is one of the world’s largest natural deep-water protected harbors that operates 365 days a year. It is located at an advantageous location at the mid-way point of one of the oldest ship navigation routes between Europe and South-East and Far-East Asia. It is the perfect choice as a trans-shipment hub-and-spoke operational base creating services for feeder vessels, coastal craft and dhows, to ports in the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Gulf, South and East Africa.
The Yemen Gulf of Aden Ports Corporation (YGAPC) is the Government entity that manages, operates and supervises Ports in the western part of the Gulf of Aden.
Thanks to this project YGAPC is now provided with a modern and expandable VTMIS System to promote the safety and security of navigation in the area close to and inside Port limits.
