The new Tadjoura Port of Djibouti began this week serving northern Ethiopian regions allowing the country to import and export non-containerized goods, says the Ministry of Transport of Ethiopia. The Port is designed to handle non-containerized goods such as coal, steel, potash and the like. A few weeks ago Ethiopia has also used Tadjoura Port to import 50,000 metric tons of coal and two ships with over 25,000 metric tons of steel. The road linking Tadjoura Port with the northern part of Ethiopia, which is 80 kilometers long, was inaugurated last November. Compare to the current Port of Djibouti, the Tadjoura port will be the closest to Tigray and Afar regions of Ethiopia.
