Yes. IFN welcomes independent freight forwarding and logistics companies based in Yemen. Members benefit from IFN’s global partner network across 93+ countries, financial protection, and access to inbound business from international partners looking for a trusted Yemen agent.
IFN gives Yemen forwarders three specific advantages: vetted global partners rather than a plain directory, financial protection built into the membership, and a genuine business exchange culture where members actively route cargo to each other. Yemen sits on the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden corridor, so members there are natural partners for Gulf, East African, Asian and European cargo.
Yes. IFN already has verified members based in Yemen handling ocean freight, air freight, customs clearance and project cargo. You can see them in the IFN members directory, and new Yemeni members are added as they pass IFN’s vetting process.
IFN’s cargo payment protection covers members against non-payment, fraud and insolvency by other network members, with up to $30,000 USD coverage. That protection lets Yemeni members quote and route international cargo with confidence, because the risk of a partner defaulting is carried by the network program, not by the member alone.
