(Adds vessel chartered by Unipec) By David Sheppard LONDON, March 30 (Reuters) - China has managed to export a large shipment of crude oil from Yemen over the weekend, ship-tracking data showed on Monday, despite mounting chaos in the country after the launch of Saudi-led air strikes last week. Trading sources said the vessel was chartered by China's state-backed oil trader Unipec. The shipment shows some oil is still being exported from the country, which has become a growing supplier to China despite years of falling output and political instability. Oil markets were roiled last week after Saudi Arabia and nine other Sunni Muslim states started air strikes against the Shi'ite Houthi militia, who control the capital and are backed by Iran, sparking fears of a wider sectarian confrontation.
