DP World and Somaliland open new terminal at Berbera Port

DP World and the government of Somaliland have opened a new container terminal at Berbera Port following completion of the first phase of the port’s expansion.

The new terminal offers a deep draft of 17 m, a quay of 400 m and three ship-to-shore (STS) gantry cranes that help increase the port’s current capacity from 150,000 teu to 500,00 teu annually.

Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, DP World group chairman and CEO, said: “Our further expansion of the port in its second phase, and its integration with the special economic zone we are developing along the Berbera Corridor reflects our confidence in Berbera and intent to develop it into a significant, world-class centre of trade.
