Ethiopia is to complete the formal possessing of acquiring land at Sudan to develop its own port.
In different occasions the two countries agreed to develop a port in
Sudan that will be an optional sea outlet for land locked Ethiopia.
After Abiy Ahmed come to the premiership the two countries have
strengthened the idea of developing a facility at Port Sudan, a major
sea port town in Sudan.
In the latest dialogue, Addis Wog, organized by Office of the Prime
Minister on the logistics sector Matios Enser (PhD), lecturer at Addis
Ababa University, said that the country should develop its own port in
the region.
On the discussion held on Friday March 6, he recommended Ethiopian
Shipping and Logistics Services Enterprise (ESLSE) to develop ports in
the region as seeing the experience of others like DP World.
“When the country normalize relations with Eritrea, the Ethiopian
Freight Forwarding and Shipping Agents submitted a document for the PM
to consider developing ports in a joint manner with Eritrean
government,” he told Capital.
“Expressing interest is not enough, action is required since it is a serious issue for the country,” he added.
He further said that there are alternatives in the region that the government will really consider.
Dagmawit Moges, Minister of Transport, told Capital that owning a port
is part of the Ten Years National Logistics Strategy issued few months
ago.
“We are interested to develop ports and it is one of the interventions
in the logistics strategy,” she says adding “but it should be determined
by the deal with countries.”
Regarding securing the plot at Sudan she confirmed for Capital that the
issue would be one of the areas that will be discussed in the latest
meeting with the delegation led by her counterpart from Sudan this week.
A delegation that was led by Dagmawit paid a visit to Sudan and port
facilities in the country early this year. Sources said that the current
Sudanese delegation visit is the follow up of Ethiopian delegation
visit.
Mekonnen Abera, Director General of the Ethiopian Maritime Affairs
Authority (EMAA), told Capital that finalizing the ownership of the plot
in Sudan will be done in the near future.
He said that the two countries have already agreed to give the plot for
the port development, while the remaining process will be finalized in
the coming few months.
“I will write a letter for our embassy in Sudan to finalize the process
in the near future and I hope the case will be done soon and the embassy
will receive the plot,” he added.
He added that ESLSE will be the mandated body to develop the port facility in Sudan.
Roba Megersa, CEO of ESLSE, told Capital that the plot securing process
will be developed in the current year but the development might not
start soon.
“Developing the area might commence in the coming year,” he added.
Some sort of consignment is coming via Sudan Port currently and Ethiopia
also export limited amount of oilseed products through Port Sudan.
Ethiopia’s major port outlet is Djibouti, which enabled to develop the
facility significantly compared with others in the regions. Ethiopia has
also interest to get stake in Djibouti and the two countries agreed to
swap shares on mega facilities in their countries.
Ethiopia also took a 19 percent share on the new development of Berbera
Port but it was reported this week that the project is fully suspended.
Ethiopia has also interest to work with Kenya and Eritrea in developing port facilities.
