DP World drives Somaliland's maritime links


DP World recently inaugurated the new container terminal at Berbera Port, Somaliland, following completion of the first phase of the port’s expansion at the Horn of Africa. The new terminal was opened at an official ceremony which was also attended by a delegation from Ethiopia.

 

The event included a symbolic ground-breaking for the new Berbera Economic Zone, the first phase of which is under construction.

 

The new container terminal with a deep draft of 17 m, a quay of 400 m and three ship to shore (STS) gantry cranes, increases the port’s container capacity from currently 150,000 teu to 500,000 teu annually.

 

The terminal also features a container yard with eight rubber tired gantry cranes (RTGs). DP World has committed to investing up to USD 442 million to develop and expand Berbera Port. (cd)
