Port Overview

Mokha Port (UN/LOCODE: YEMOK)

Mokha, also known as al-Mukha, is a historic seaport on Yemen’s Red Sea coast at the southern entrance to the Red Sea. It is a shallow-bay port southwest of Hodeidah, with an exposed anchorage approximately 2.5 km offshore and one pier where vessels may berth on either side. The port is oriented toward breakbulk, Ro-Ro and palm-oil tanker cargo rather than a conventional high-frequency container gateway. The supplied port particulars indicate a maximum general vessel size of 180 m LOA, 8.0 m draught and 15,000 DWT; vessels up to 20,000 DWT may be accepted subject to the 8.0 m draught limit. The tanker berth is listed at up to 150 m LOA and 8.5 m draught. Our service team recommends treating berth, anchorage, security and cargo acceptance as subject to current local confirmation.

Key Highlights

Key Logistics Characteristics

South Red Sea location gives Mokha a regional maritime position, but the port should not be treated as a guaranteed liner or container hub.
One pier and an unprotected offshore anchorage make berth planning, pilotage, weather and port-condition confirmation essential.
Primary operational fit is breakbulk, project-related, Ro-Ro and selected liquid-bulk cargo; palm oil tanker handling is specifically indicated in the supplied port data.
Vessel acceptance is constrained by the stated LOA and draught parameters; final nomination must be checked with the port, local agent and vessel operator.
For containerized cargo, our team should validate feeder availability, transshipment routing and any port-specific handling acceptance before quoting.

Facilities & Services

Facilities and Cargo Handling Scope

BerthingOne pier permits berthing on either side. Berth allocation and operational windows require current confirmation.

AnchorageAn unprotected anchorage is located approximately 1.5 miles, or 2.5 km, offshore; weather and sea conditions may affect launch, pilotage and cargo planning.

BreakbulkThe port is described as capable of handling breakbulk cargo. Cargo dimensions, lifting arrangements and shore equipment should be agreed before shipment.

Ro-RoRo-Ro cargo is within the stated handling scope. Ramp compatibility, vehicle dimensions and lashing requirements should be checked case by case.

Liquid bulkPalm-oil tanker cargo is identified in the supplied port description. Tanker berth limits are listed separately from the general berth limits.

Containers and inland servicesNo container terminal, rail connection, depot network or fixed storage capability is assumed here. Our team will confirm availability with the nominated local agent.

Routes & Transit Times

Routing and Schedule Planning

Typical planning may involve Red Sea coastal or regional services, transshipment through another suitable regional gateway, or a vessel fixed specifically for breakbulk, Ro-Ro or tanker cargo. The actual option depends on cargo type and current carrier acceptance.
For container cargo, our service team should obtain a confirmed port pair, transshipment plan and equipment release before presenting a transit estimate. A direct service, fixed sailing frequency or guaranteed transit time should not be assumed.
Schedule performance may be affected by anchorage exposure, berth availability, security restrictions, weather, draft limitations, local agency procedures and onward inland conditions.
For project and oversized cargo, the routing review should include vessel suitability, lifting or ramp arrangements, port-call permission and a cargo-specific stowage plan.

Transit times are not published as fixed figures because they depend on the nominated vessel, transshipment point, port approval and prevailing operating conditions.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Hinterland and Cargo Profile

Local and regional hinterland: Mokha primarily serves cargo moving to or from the western Yemeni Red Sea coastal area. Inland delivery toward major population or commercial centers requires route, security and consignee-access confirmation.
Breakbulk and general cargo: Machinery, construction materials, bagged goods and other non-containerized cargo may be considered subject to handling, lifting and vessel compatibility.
Ro-Ro cargo: Vehicles, rolling machinery and mobile equipment require advance review of dimensions, weight distribution, ramp access and securing arrangements.
Liquid bulk: Palm oil is specifically identified as a handled cargo category; tanker nomination must comply with berth dimensions, cargo compatibility and terminal acceptance.
Historic export identity: Mocha coffee is historically associated with the port, while current cargo availability and export volumes must be confirmed for each commercial transaction.

Operations & Compliance

Operational and Compliance Controls

Cut-off and booking: Do not rely on standard liner cut-off assumptions. Obtain the vessel operator’s booking deadline, cargo acceptance, documentation cut-off and port-call approval in writing.
Dangerous goods: Submit the correct IMDG declaration, SDS and packing details before acceptance. Confirm whether the port, vessel and local agent will accept the specific UN number, class, quantity and equipment type.
Customs and inspection: Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, permits and transport documents should be consistent. Inspection, scanning or release timing may vary, so our team should build contingency into the delivery plan.
Inland delivery: Verify road accessibility, security conditions, escort requirements where applicable, consignee receiving capacity and the availability of suitable trucks before cargo dispatch.

Shipping Tips

Practical Booking Recommendations

Send our service team the cargo type, dimensions, gross weight, packing method, hazardous classification, intended delivery point and preferred shipment window before requesting a firm routing.
For breakbulk or project cargo, prepare a dimensioned packing list, lifting points, center-of-gravity information, photographs and securing requirements; obtain vessel and shore-handling approval before production.
For Ro-Ro cargo, provide vehicle or machinery dimensions, axle loads, fuel or battery status and lashing details. Do not assume all rolling cargo can be accepted on the nominated vessel.
Keep an alternative plan through another regional gateway or transshipment arrangement when Mokha berth access, security, equipment or cargo acceptance cannot be confirmed in time.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can YEMOK be used for standard FCL container shipments?

Container acceptance should be checked individually. The supplied port profile emphasizes breakbulk, Ro-Ro and tanker cargo rather than a regular container service. Our team will verify equipment, carrier acceptance and any transshipment requirement before booking.

What vessel dimensions are indicated for Mokha?

The supplied particulars list general limits of 180 m LOA, 8.0 m draught and 15,000 DWT. Vessels up to 20,000 DWT may be accepted subject to the 8.0 m draught limit. The tanker berth is listed at 150 m LOA and 8.5 m draught. Final acceptance remains subject to port and vessel confirmation.

Is cargo handled alongside or at anchorage?

The port has one pier with berthing on either side, while the anchorage is described as unprotected and approximately 2.5 km offshore. The actual cargo operation depends on vessel nomination, berth availability, weather and local instructions.

What should be checked before shipping dangerous goods?

Confirm the IMDG declaration, SDS, packing certification, segregation, vessel acceptance and local port or agent requirements. Acceptance must be obtained before cargo reaches the origin terminal or port area.

Can the service team arrange inland delivery from Mokha?

We can assess the inland leg, but truck availability, road access, security conditions, consignee access and any local authorization must be confirmed for the actual destination and shipment date.
