DP World has launched a new shipping route linking Berbera Port in Somaliland with Jebel Ali Port in the UAE, promoting trade between the Gulf and East Africa. Berbera features a 1,050-metre quay, including a 400-metre section for Triple E vessels, modern container terminals, and facilities handling over four million livestock heads annually. The Berbera Special Economic Zone attracts investment and supports long-term industrial growth. Since last year, DP World’s operations have increased vessel productivity by 450pc, container volumes by 30pc, and general cargo throughput by 90pc. The port now handles 14+ vessels monthly with a 500,000 TEU annual capacity, set to expand to two million TEUs. Community initiatives, including training “Solar Mamas” as technicians, demonstrate the project’s social and economic impact.
