Tadjoura Port of Djibouti begins serving Ethiopia

Tadjoura Port of Djibouti begins serving Ethiopia.

October 3, 2020

The new Tadjoura Port of Djibouti began this week serving northern Ethiopian regions allowing the country to import and export non-containerized goods, says the Ministry of Transport of Ethiopia.

The Port is designed to handle non-containerized goods such as coal, steel, potash and the like. Last month the Port has handled its first shipment of some 25,000 metric tons of steel last month, according to the Ministry of Transportation of Ethiopia. A few weeks ago Ethiopia has also used Tadjoura Port to import 50,000 metric tons of coal and two ships with over 25,000 metric tons of steel.


Tadjoura Port can handle up to 2,000 tons of potash per hour. The road linking Tadjoura Port with the northern part of Ethiopia, which is 80 kilometers long, was inaugurated last November. Compare to the current Port of Djibouti, the Tadjoura port will be the closest to Tigray and Afar regions of Ethiopia.

It is expected to benefit Ethiopia by allowing the country to quickly transport its potash products to the port for export. The Ministry in its statement indicated that Ethiopia in the future will plan to use the Tadjoura Port for importing and exporting of wheat, sugar and fertilizers.

Mainly with the support and loan from the Government of China, over the past few years the Government of Djibouti has been investing on expansion of specialized ports, including ports that only handle containerized goods, liquid and non-containerized items.

Not true, :lol: but doesn't bother us a bit if Ethiopia does forget. Our decades old suffering happened, because of Ethiopia's hunger to own our country & these ports. It's like the prostítute here is saying, an abusive husband has finally forgotten his victim. Good, for the victim.

Today, Ethiopia's interest in Djibouti is not only economic or commercial, but a matter of survival as over ninety five percent of the world’s trade is carried by sea and it is, by far, the most cost effective way to transport a large amount of goods and raw materials around the world, Therefore, Djibouti ports are important assets to Ethiopia economic and security and without them the country would be at a standstill in no time at all.

As far as Ethiopia has been able to determine, Eritrea remains a forgotten country by the 114,963,588 Ethiopian people.


Ethiopia is a bustling country but it would come to standstill without Djibouti.

This is the best news of the day. I pray one day you will follow your follow Ethiopians and forget Eritrea. Your obsession with Eritrea is beyond limits and not healthy.

If you ask true Eritreans (no the parrot’s of Issu) here, the majority will tell you not only close the borders permanently, build a Tall wall at the Southern border... where I came from there’s a saying nothing good comes from south of Mereb River.

Forgetting Eritrea will bring healing to your little brain 🧠.

The national security and economic well being of Ethiopia was compromised in 1993 when Ethiopia become a landlocked nation.

By a low intelligence woyane author.

January 24 2007
nazret.com

The national security and economic well being of Ethiopia was compromised in 1993 when Ethiopia become a landlocked nation because of the hastily made decision by the transitional government of Ethiopia. EPRDF leaders who made up the transitional government should have researched precedent cases, consulted experts, and waited until they had the mandate from the people, by the way of election, to enter into lasting international agreements involving Ethiopia. But as the result of their inexperience, EPRDF leaders took Isayas’s word at it’s face value and signed for sessesion of Eritrea without a written and binding agreement that secured access to sea for Ethiopia.


I cannot fanthom how Meles Zenawi who in 1991 told David Mercer that he “wanted to make Ethiopia a big player in the Middle East; ranking alongside Egypt” failed to appreciate the importance of secured access to the Red Sea to achieve his vision.

EPRDF’s blunder of Chambelian proportion has made Ethiopia a hostage to the goodwill of its neighbors Djibouti and Somalia. A goodwill that can easily be reversed at anytime when a political group that harbors ill will towards Ethiopia comes to power or when a rich country pays the right price for their cooperation to deny Ethiopia access to the sea.

There is nothing new, wars have been fought, deals have been made, borders have been drawn to secure access to the sea and to create a security buffer zone. Ethiopia is not different and has to fight for her right to secure unfettered access to the sea.


The Ethiopian government has a second chance to secure access to sea for Ethiopia through negotiation when the demarcation talks with Eritrea resumes. Unless Ethiopia gains her own access to sea, there will never be a lasting peace in Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan or Djibouti. Let us not mistake the “absence of war for peace.” Ethiopians will have to continue to go to war for their rightful access to sea because their continued existence depends on it.

Fortunately, at least for now, we do not have to worry much. Former transitional government turned current government leaders have wised up and made a farsighted and well thoughtout decision.

Historical Port of Djibouti set to be international business district

The Africa Logistics 1 day ago


In a landmark ceremony, held under the auspices of HE President of the Republic of Djibouti, Ismail Omar Guelleh, Djibouti inaugurated the regeneration project to turn the Historical Port of Djibouti into an international business district.

The regeneration will see the historical port transformed into a district called the East Africa International Special Business Zone, which will take place in six phases.

The first phase is the International Demonstration Area – the core part of the district – and will have a site area of approximately 220, 500 square metres, a total investment of approximately US$513 million and is due to be completed within 5 years.

The first phase involves the construction of an exhibition centre, including a centre of excellence for maritime studies, as well as conference rooms, a hotel and apartments.

The whole project will ultimately create around 27,000 jobs, directly and indirectly.


Speaking at the inaugural ceremony, Chairman Hadi of DPFZA said:


“The regeneration of the Historical Port of Djibouti is the natural continuation of Djibouti’s recent developments. This project implements the Port-Park-City concept, which refers to the integration of ports, industrial parks and services. The ports are a key node in the transportation of goods; the international free trade zone brings added value to these goods; and this new business district will facilitate the development of services, particularly in the financial sector.”


Maximising the country’s geostrategic position


The development of an international business district will advance Djibouti’s Vision 2035, the national development strategy to maximise the country’s geostrategic position.

This transformation of the historical Port marks the final step in the implementation of the Port-Park-City concept; the full integration of Djibouti’s ports, industrial parks and services sector.

The Historical Port of Djibouti was initially built in 1888 and has developed in tandem with the country’s growth, undergoing several transformations


Over the last decade Djibouti has built new specialised port infrastructure to gradually relocate the activities of the historical Port:

  • Doraleh Multipurpose Port is one of the most modern ports in Africa; it was launched in 2017, has the ability to accommodate vessels with up to 100,000 DWT.
  • SGTD is a key transhipment hub for the region; now fully connected to the Addis Ababa-Djibouti railway.
  • The Ports of Ghoubet and Tadjourah are two multipurpose ports mainly designed to handle salt and potash respectively, which supplement the service of the other ports.
  • Djibouti is also developing a heavy industry and petrochemical base – Djibouti Damerjog Industrial Park – which will drive forward the industrialisation of Djibouti and of the East African region.

Eritrea take a note.
