GAC Yemen Ltd, in Aden has provided us with the following information:

Quote
Please be informed that any vessel calling Yemeni ports require to get entry permission from Ministry of Transport, the ships agent or receivers needs to obtain this prior to the vessels arrival to Bab Al-Mandab. 

Any vessel coming to the Yemeni ports should be calling to the naval forces of the Saudi Arabian coalition by VHF on channel 16 for the arrival registration before 3 miles of arrival to the Bab Al Mandab to get approval to enter to the Yemeni territorial waters and thereafter they will advise the ship’s master about the anchor position until getting the final approval to enter after inspection. They will not do investigation with the crew; everything will be with the ship’s master or Chief Officer about the cargo & documents & the ship’s master should advise them the permission number and await further instructions. 

Once the vessel is allowed entry into Yemeni port, she will be required to call once again to the port control by VHF on channel 14 or 16 for the arrival registration and thereafter she will be advised the anchor position until berthing prospects confirmed by the harbor master.
