The Damerjog Liquid Bulk Port is a cornerstone of the Djibouti Damerjog Industrial Park (DDIP), representing a major expansion of the nation's logistics infrastructure. Initiated around 2020, the project aims to establish Djibouti as a premier regional energy hub in the Horn of Africa. The facility features a 675-meter long jetty designed specifically for the handling of refined petroleum products and other liquid bulk commodities. With an annual throughput capacity of approximately 13 million tonnes, the port plays a vital role in ensuring energy security for neighboring countries, particularly Ethiopia. The terminal includes a storage tank farm with a total capacity of 150,000 cubic meters. Advanced pumping systems and pipeline connectivity allow for high-efficiency loading and unloading operations, reducing vessel turnaround times significantly.
