Djibouti to Double Capacity at Doraleh Container Terminal

Djibouti will invite bids to expand the Doraleh Container Terminal, partly owned by DP World Ltd., in the fourth quarter, the Port and Free Zone Authority said.

Capacity will double to 3 million TEU containers, or twenty-foot equivalent units, annually once the $300 million expansion project is completed by 2015, Aboubaker Omar Hadi, chief executive officer of the authority, said in an interview today in Nairobi, Kenya’s capital.
