About This Seaport
Al Mukha (Mokha), registered under UN/LOCODE YE MOK on Yemen's Red Sea coast, is a small port with two jetties totalling about 430 metres and a draft of only around 7.2 metres — there is no container terminal. Closed for years during the civil war, it has reopened to commercial shipping and mainly supplies the Taiz region with general and bulk cargo and humanitarian goods; Yemen has virtually no railways, so haulage is entirely by road. Its position near the Bab el-Mandeb strait leaves it highly exposed to security conditions: during the 2024–25 Red Sea crisis, throughput at Yemen's Red Sea ports fell by roughly 70% at times before easing after the ceasefires from May and October 2025. Mokha is unsuitable for containerised or larger consignments; for these, Aden — with its container terminal on the Gulf of Aden — and, depending on political control, Hodeidah are the relevant alternatives. Importers should verify the current operational and security situation before any booking.
