Hilariously DP world is doing this for Berbera

>DP World already has an agreement with IFFCO, a major UAE-based food company, to develop a 300,000 square feet edible oil packing plant in the BEZ.

>“The integration of Berbera port with the new Economic Zone is a great example of this, making Berbera a world-class trading ecosystem, now and for the future.”
The Somaliland free zone is based on the model operated by Jebel Ali Free Zone in Dubai.

>The masterplan for BEZ extends to 1,200 hectares and will be expanded with demand. Phase 1, which is now open, offers serviced land plots for building company facilities, 10,000 square metres of pre-built warehouses, build-to-suit facilities, an open yard storage, a common user warehouse that DP World will operate to handle customer cargo, and an office space.

>The Berbera Port has a deep draft of 17 metres, a quay of 400 metres and three ship-to-shore (STS) gantry cranes, which can receive the ‘largest container vessels in operation’. It also has the capacity to handle 500,000 TEUs a year.


>As a result of the expansion, the port is expected to facilitate trade equivalent to about 27 per cent of Somaliland’s GDP and 75 per cent of regional trade by 2035.

Oh this is not a big deal but just the start for UAE, get ready for when they control all the ports in Somalia.

A company maximises profit so I’m not surprised if true but at least they’ve turned Berbera into a world class port and plan further expansion with the economic zone. Seems like they’re way more interested in Berbera than Bosaso

I knew this DP company aren't good for Somalia-

Port construction is ongoing. This was yesterday.

Minister: It's not closed but some traders are complaining about the new system which measures CBM or the volume and that is the standard in global shipping, before we were only calculating the weight but now it's the CBM and some items were affected.

If traders feel Bossaso became expensive, they can go to Garcaad port.
