The port of Mukalla is the only sea port in Hadhramaut Governorate overlooking the Arabian Sea. The modern port was established at the end of 1985 AD in the Khalaf area as a multi-purpose port serving the commercial, fishery and oil derivatives movement of the governorate and neighboring governorates, as it was previously dependent on the anchorage and there are no direct anchorages. For ships, except for a small anchorage for boats and wooden ships loaded with goods. Although the port’s designs were prepared on ships with a capacity not exceeding ten thousand tons, these weights have not been adhered to since the establishment of the port, as a result of its urgent need to receive larger ships, as the sizes of the ships exceeded twenty thousand tons, provided that the cargo load is not complete, with Taking into account the draft, which is the limit that cannot be exceeded.

Storage and absorptive capacity (types):

There is only one warehouse in the port to accommodate and store goods, especially packed goods, boxes, etc. Goods are also stored in the yards adjacent to the floor, which accommodate storage operations. However, as a result of the narrow port spaces, heavy equipment, loaded goods, etc. are directly withdrawn so that they are unloaded from the ship to the means of transport and then directly outside the port.
