Djibouti - The Doraleh Container Terminal Project

The present project concerns the Doraleh Container Terminal. It's a container terminal for the handling of container transported products located in the Republic of Djibouti, northeastern Africa.

The nearest inhabited area is the village of Doraleh, in the proximity of the Project site, while approximately 12 km to the southeast is the city of Djibouti. The Project should be constructed in 2 phases, consisting of: Phase 1: Dredging a basin area and berth pocket to a depth of 18m, construction of a 1,050 m container berth, dredging and earthworks (including land reclamation activity) for an operating area of 54 ha; and Phase 2: Additional 900 m of berth and corresponding dredging and additional operating area. The project comprises three main components, including: a) land facilities; b) marine facilities and c) transport areas.
