With scheduled stops at Aden and Djibouti, the service provides additional connectivity to key port cities, supporting greater access to markets across the Horn of Africa. From Berbera, cargo can connect onwards to inland destinations such as Ethiopia, providing an alternative to traditional logistics chains that rely on Djibouti Port and long-haul overland trucking. The new route also supports more predictable transit times and reduces exposure to regional bottlenecks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Berbera port\u2019s 1,050-metre quay enhanced infrastructure includes a 400-metre quay capable of handling Triple E vessels, extensive bulk and breakbulk handling facilities, and an annual livestock handling capacity of around 4 million heads. Berbera is also home to the region\u2019s most modern container terminal and the Berbera Special Economic Zone (BSEZ), designed to attract foreign investment and support long-term industrial growth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ganesh Raj, Group Chief Operating Officer, Marine Services at DP World, said: \u201cThe Jebel Ali to Berbera service further complements DP World\u2019s investment drive into Africa. Building on the significant infrastructure we have developed across the continent, the service enhances connectivity for our customers as we continue to boost trade links between the Middle East and East Africa. In doing so, we are supporting the growth of resilient, sustainable corridors that unlock prosperity for our partners, customers and the communities we serve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">DP World\u2019s commitment in the Horn of Africa goes far beyond Berbera Port. The company holds a 58.5% stake in the container and general cargo terminal, providing deep-water access to major East\u2013West shipping lanes, and has developed the nearby Berbera Economic Zone to accelerate local industrialisation. Already, more than 4.1 million heads of livestock are moved annually through Berbera to global markets, a trade worth over US $1 billion. Community initiatives, such as training the region\u2019s first \u201cSolar Mamas\u201d as solar-energy technicians, underline how trade infrastructure can deliver both economic and social impact.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Supachai Wattanaveerachai, CEO, DP World Horn of Africa, added: &#8220;The launch of this new corridor is a milestone in our ambition to build faster, safer, and more reliable trade routes. It reflects our commitment to creating meaningful economic benefits for businesses and communities in the region. Our work in Berbera is already stimulating trade and industry, while supporting wider community development. Looking ahead, this service will strengthen Berbera\u2019s role as a gateway for East Africa\u2019s future growth and prosperity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">DP World\u2019s growing presence in East Africa is helping reshape regional trade dynamics by offering alternatives to traditional routes through Djibouti and improving market access for landlocked and underserved areas. The company\u2019s strategy aligns with regional goals for economic diversification, infrastructure resilience and trade independence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Berbera\u2019s growing importance is reinforced by investments in inland connectivity, most notably the corridor linking to Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. Backed by the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development and the UK\u2019s Department for International Development, recent upgrades such as a 250 km road and the 22.5 km Hargeisa Bypass are improving transit capacity and expanding the port\u2019s reach into regional markets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The commitment to African infrastructure extends across the continent, with close to $3 billion invested to date and another $3 billion committed to be invested in ports and logistics infrastructure on the continent in the next three to five years. Investments range from Rwanda\u2019s Kigali Logistics Platform to the Maputo Corridor in Mozambique, all aimed at building efficient, future-ready trade networks and reinforcing the Horn of Africa\u2019s role in global commerce.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since DP World began operations in Berbera in 2017, the port has undergone a significant transformation. Vessel productivity increased by 450%, with container volumes rising by 30% and general cargo throughput growing by 90%. Today, Berbera handles over 14 container vessels per month and has an annual container capacity of 500,000 TEUs, with expansion plans to quadruple this capacity to 2 million TEUs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">DP World continues to invest in its global network through new routes, advanced vessel technologies and sustainable operations. The launch of the Jebel Ali-Berbera service represents a significant step in the company\u2019s mission to deliver seamless and resilient maritime logistics solutions worldwide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Source : Government of Dubai Media Office<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DP World has launched a new strategic shipping route connecting<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18936,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[40,442],"tags":[1493,2687,1760,31,32,1485,1297,1388,45,3285],"class_list":["post-18935","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-en","category-news-en","tag-africa-en","tag-daily-news","tag-dp-world","tag-maritimafrica","tag-maritime","tag-maritime-in-africa","tag-maritime-industry-en","tag-news","tag-shipping-en","tag-shipping-route"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>DP World launches new Jebel Ali - Berbera Shipping Route - Maritimafrica<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/dp-world-launches-new-jebel-ali-berbera-shipping-route\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"DP World launches new Jebel Ali - Berbera Shipping Route - Maritimafrica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"DP World has launched a new strategic shipping route connecting\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/dp-world-launches-new-jebel-ali-berbera-shipping-route\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Maritimafrica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/maritimafrica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-10-17T04:26:32+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-10-17T04:27:49+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/558992754_1130495142592626_7411437920840286862_n.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1920\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1403\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/maritimafrica.com\\\/en\\\/dp-world-launches-new-jebel-ali-berbera-shipping-route\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/maritimafrica.com\\\/en\\\/dp-world-launches-new-jebel-ali-berbera-shipping-route\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"admin\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/maritimafrica.com\\\/en\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/8fb393d26362e592a3b75669654ebb24\"},\"headline\":\"DP World launches new Jebel Ali &#8211;
