Advice to vessels proceeding to Yemeni Red Sea Ports. 

Under the terms of UNSCR (United Nations Security Council Resolution) 2216 a coalition of maritime forces
is operating in the Red Sea to prevent the transport of weapons and associated materiel to Yemeni Ports.
To enforce this UNSCR the coalition has announced that the following routeing should be followed by vessels
proceeding to Yemeni ports.

Failure to comply may result in the vessel being considered suspicious and subsequently come under the
surveillance of coalition forces and possible further action in accordance with the terms of UNSCR 2216.
This situation is subject to change.
