Global port operator DP World launched a new shipping route linking Jebel Ali Port in the UAE with Berbera Port in Somalia, operating every nine days to strengthen Gulf–East Africa trade. The $440 million Berbera investment includes a modern container terminal and deeper berths, positioning the port as a key regional hub and an alternative to Djibouti. The route is expected to boost cargo flows to Ethiopia and enhance Somalia’s role in regional maritime logistics.
