In 2012, the Djiboutian government, in collaboration with DP World, embarked on the construction of the Doraleh Container Terminal, marking a significant milestone in the nation's maritime infrastructure. This ambitious project, valued at $396 million, aims to enhance Djibouti's position as a key logistics hub in the region. The Doraleh Container Terminal is designed to accommodate an impressive capacity of 1.5 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) annually, thereby significantly boosting the national transit capacity. This third major seaport is expected to facilitate increased trade and commerce, providing a vital link for goods moving in and out of the Horn of Africa. The strategic location of the terminal, combined with advanced operational capabilities, positions Djibouti as a pivotal player in global shipping and logistics, ultimately contributing to the economic growth and development of the nation. #mooflife #mof #MomentOfLife #DoralehContainerTerminal #Djibouti #DpWorld #SeaportConstruction #LogisticsHub
