| 释义 |
The Doraleh Container Terminal (DCT) is a major port facility in the Port of Doraleh, Djibouti,[1] strategically located along the Red Sea and near the Gulf of Aden.[2] In February 2018, following a dispute between the government of Djibouti and the Dubai-based shipping firm DP World, the government nationalized the terminal.[3] Construction and capacityThe DCT was built by the Dubai shipping company DP World after securing a 2006 30-year contract by Djibouti, and opened in 2009.[1][5][6][7] The contract was one of a number won by DP World in the region, including one in Berbera, Somaliland.[6] The DCT's quay is 1050 meters with 18 meters depth, and can hold 1.25 million TEU. The facility also operates eight Super-post-Panamax container cranes.[1] An ENOC petroeum terminal is located adjacent to the DCT.[4] The terminal is the largest employer in Djibouti and its largest source of revenue.[11] As of 2015, the DCT was described as the most technologically advanced container terminal on the African continent.[5] Shipping activityThe port is called by major shipping services in the region, including:[11]
Djibouti-DP World conflictIn 2014 the Djibouti government accused DP World of bribing the port authority Abdourahman Boreh, and stated the operating contract was unfair.[5] A London commercial court cleared Boreh of misconduct in 2016.[5] In 2017, a tribunal at the London Court of International Arbitration threw out a claim by the Djibouti government that DP World's agreement was unfair, and ordered the government to pay DP World damages.[1] The London court was led by English jurists Lord Leonard Hoffman and Sir Richard Aikens.[6] Al-Jazeera has reported that according to its sources, relations between the UAE-based company and Djibouti were strained after Djibouti denied the UAE permission to build a military base on its territory.[2] Relations worsened after the UAE offered to build another base in Somaliland, weakening the competitiveness of the Djibouti port.[2]NationalizationIn November 2017, Djibouti passed legislation allowing it to renegotiate contracts related to strategic infrastructure.[7] In February 2018, on the order of president Ismaïl Omar Guelleh,[8] the Djibouti government seized the facility and placed it under the control of the government-owned Doraleh Container Terminal Management Company. The government stated that the DP World contract violated Djibouti's sovereignty.[2] In response, DP world began a new arbitration case in London against the termination of their 30 year contract to manage the port to secure "compensation for their breach or expropriation."[1] The Djibouti government stated it would engage in "normal compensation procedures" to pay for the nationalization.[9] The nationalization has occurred as the United Arab Emirates has expanded its influence, included through military bases, around the Red Sea and East Africa.[10] At the intersection of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, and located next to the Bab el-Mandeb strait, Djibouti occupies a strategic position, and hosts U.S., Chinese, French and Italian military bases.[8][10][7] See also
