Shabwa (Debriefer) - The first vessel on Sunday arrived at Qana port in Shabwa with 17,000 tons of diesel on board, local authorities in the Yemeni southeastern governorate said.
The second ship and the floating storage and offloading (FSO) facility are expected to arrive in the few coming days as part of the port construction's first stage to secure the governorate's needs.
The second stage will see the erection of berths for oil discharge, 8 strategic reservoirs (with total capacity of 60,000 tons) and docks for commercial activity.
The governorate's first oil and commercial port will play key role in reviving the trading and economic activity in Shabwa and the neighboring governorates of Marib, Jawf, Hadhramout and Abyan, Governor Mohamed Bin Edio said.
