Would be incredible if Berbera port gets an automated container yard.
This is an example of a fully automated container terminal
at the Port of Melbourne.
Agreed. At the rate of development, and expected growth, I believe that will eventually be a necessary requirement in order to maintain a speedy operation at the port.

Masha Allah. Perfect example of investing in both
Hard Infrastructure - Tangible, physical assembly of structures such as roads, bridges, warehouses, and ports.
Soft Infrastructure- Services required to maintain the economic, health, and social needs such as digital technology, data centers and cloud computing!
Love it, looks fantastic!
Should be a huge boon for the SL economy, in particular import/export traders.

Berbera is taking back its place on the map
Once upon a time this town was so important, the entire seaway was known as the Gulf of Berbera.
Berbera — passed through the Roman, Greek, Ottoman and British empires and fancied as a base for the Soviet fleet during the Cold War.
