Location

The Port of Aden is situated approximately 170 kilometers (110 mi) east of the strait of Bab Al Mandeb, which connects the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea. [1] The port is one of the largest natural harbours in the world. [2] Serving as an important oil storage and refueling station for tankers, the port was the second busiest harbour for refuelling, in the world after New York in the 1950s. [3]
