Background

The Logistics Cluster coordinates and facilitates a weekly passenger movement between Djibouti and Aden on the WFP-chartered vessel, VOS Apollo, which is also used for emergency rescue and evacuation purposes. Standard Operating Procedures are available at: http://www.logcluster.org/document/standard-operating-procedures-sops-passengers-sea-transport-september-2017

The VOS Apollo has a capacity of 600 mt, therefore it is also used to transport cargo from Djibouti to Aden on behalf of humanitarian organisations when the need arises. Standard Operating are available at: http://www.logcluster.org/document/standard-operating-procedures-sops-djibouti-sea-transport-august-2017

Since May 2016, a regular schedule and booking system have been in place, with weekly rotations between Djibouti and Aden. The schedule allows passengers to easily connect with UNHAS flights between Djibouti and Sana’a.
