Thanks to the expertise of the Moroccan group, Djibouti has launched the construction works of a new oil jetty, as part of a large storage platform for petroleum products and derivatives, located in the new free industrial zone of Damerjog.

Launched by President of the Republic of Djibouti, Ismail Omar Guelleh, this new infrastructure is one of the largest projects undertaken by the Djibouti Ports & Free Zones Authorities (DPFZA).

Composed of three development and construction phases of 5 years each, the port includes oil storage terminals, a crude oil refinery, an LNG terminal, ship repair area as well as power plants and a park for building materials.

The launching ceremony of this event was marked by the presence of SOMAGEC President Roger Sahyoun, as well as the Prime Minister, the President of the Assembly, several members of the government, as well as DPFZA President Aboubaker Omar Hadi.

The oil terminal consists of an offshore jetty connected to a storage area. According to the designers, this 3 km-jetty provides access to vehicles and pipeline services. It is also designed to accommodate vessels from 5,000 to 100,000 DWT and ships from 2,000 to 30,000 DWT.
