Houthis welcome food supplies as they are going to their own forces and those that support them, but violently oppose food landing a Aden, which is held by their enemies
But even in Hodeidah, the situation continues to be dangerous. As a result, an Emergency Risk Surcharge of US$530 per TEU and $1,060 FEU will be levied from August 1, said Maersk.
The congestion fee that has been in effect since April will remain in effect. This congestion fee is $150 per TEU and $300 per FEU.
A UN-declared truce to get food in to millions (nearly all food is imported) commenced on Friday only to be broken anti-Houthi Saudi-led air strikes and small arms fire on the ground.
Iran-backed Shiite Houthi forces besieging Aden have prevented a convoy carrying aid from Hodeidah, as food becomes a strategic materiel enabling forces loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, now in Saudi exile to fight on.
The Houthi are called "rebels" even though they have ousted the government and hold the capital, largely because the west supports them and their allies, the Saudis, and is against their friends, the Iranians.
