The Ethiopia-Djibouti Railway managed a little over 86 million dollars in revenues last year, a 37.5pc jump from the figure recorded in the previous year. Its executives attribute the introduction of railway safety regulations in Somali Regional State and a fall in vandalism and theft as factors behind the improved performance. The Railway's refrigerated train service is an important cog in the export of horticultural products, while other goods it transports include imported fertiliser, wheat, edible oil and vehicles. The Railway transports around a quarter of Ethiopia's export and import freight to and from ports in Djibouti. The 765Km long railway, which is Africa's first fully-electrified transboundary railway, transported over 77,300 shipping containers between Ethiopia and Djibouti last year.
