What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The African Terminal & Logistics Services (ATLS) project is adding steel tanks at Djibouti’s Doraleh Multipurpose Port. If successful, this terminal will handle fuel imports destined for Ethiopia by loading it directly onto trains. This offers a new way to move large volumes of fuel inland, reducing the reliance on road tankers.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Ethiopia currently imports much of its petroleum through Djibouti, which relies heavily on road transport. The new rail connection aims to provide more storage capacity and a more efficient distribution hub for these imports. The gains depend on the successful commissioning of the first phase, expected by June 2027.
