The Port of Berbera, also known as Berbera Port, is the official seaport of Berbera, the commercial capital of the autonomous Somaliland region in northwestern Somalia. It is classified as a major class port.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.somalitalk.com/2010/may/istambul/transport.pdf )〕 ==Overview== Berbera Port historically served as a naval and missile base for the Somali central government. Following a 1972 agreement between the Siad Barre administration and the USSR, the port's facilities were patronized by the Soviets. It was later expanded for U.S. military use, after the Somali authorities strengthened ties with the American government. As of 2013, the Port of Berbera has a 650-metre berth and a depth of 11.5–12 metres. It is strategically located along the oil route. In July 2013, the Raysut Cement company of Oman announced that it is scheduled to build a new state-of-the-art cement terminal at the Port of Berbera. The construction project is part of a joint venture with Somali business partners. It will comprise three silos with a 4000 t capacity each, which will be earmarked for storage, packing and distribution of cement. In October 2013, the French company Bollore Africa Logistics reportedly began a project to invest $677 million USD in the Berbera Port. Although unfinalized, the initiative is intended to ameliorate the port's facilities and establish a new corridor to the hinterland, which would facilitate trade with neighboring Ethiopia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Port of Berbera」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
