DUBAI: DP World announced it has won a 30-year concession, with an automatic 10-year extension, for the management and development of a world-class, multi-purpose deep seaport project at Berbera in the Republic of Somaliland.

Sultan Ahmad Bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO of DP World, said: “Investment in this natural deepwater port will attract more shipping lines to East Africa and its modernisation will act as a catalyst for the growth of the country and the region’s economy.

“Berbera will contribute to our continued growth in the developing markets of Africa in the years ahead. It is also a breakthrough in developing access to the sea for landlocked Ethiopia, the region’s largest economy.”

The first phase of investment 400-metre quay and 250,000 square metre yard extension, and gantry cranes and reach stackers to handle containers and cargo. The quay extension is due to start within 12 months of the agreement and be completed within two years
