Mogadishu Port has jumped 36 places in just 2 years, rising from 163rd to 127th in the World Bank’s Container Port Performance Index (CPPI). That puts Mogadishu Port 1st in East Africa, 6th in Africa, and 127th out of more than 400 ports globally. Mogadishu Port covers roughly 350,000 m², with about 1,035 meters of quay. Most of the country’s imports enter through the port. Since 2014, Türkiye’s Albayrak has operated and modernized the port under a 20-year revenue-sharing concession signed during Hassan Sheikh Mohamud’s first presidency, under which the company initially received 45% of revenues and the government 55%. During Farmaajo’s presidency, the agreement was reviewed after the original terms were criticized as being unfair and skewed in favor of the Turkish side. Negotiations lasted nearly three years, and in 2020 a revised 14-year concession was finally signed, increasing the government’s revenue share to 62.17%. The renewed concession includes $50 million in investment over 5 years to upgrade the port, expand capacity, and improve operational efficiency. • Its estimated capacity has surpassed 400 vessel calls per year. • In 2025, the port handled roughly 1.2 million tons of cargo and nearly 200,000 containers. • Projected federal customs revenue from Mogadishu Port in 2026 is $170.2 million. Mogadishu is only part of a much bigger infrastructure plan. The Federal Government plans to attract investors to fund an infrastructure development project connecting Mogadishu Port with the rest of the country through three strategic transport corridors: Mogadishu - Beledweyne - Ethiopian border Mogadishu - Beledweyne - Galkayo Mogadishu - Kismayo - Kenyan border What stands in the way of connecting Mogadishu to Kismayo, and ultimately to the Kenyan border and the wider East African market? The UAE and Kenya. UAE-based DP World invests in Kenya’s Mombasa Port and sees the development of Kismayo Port as a threat to its interests there. Kenya, meanwhile, has a military presence in the region and supports the continued rule of the state leader who prevents foreign investment, especially Turkish investment, from entering the area. It is also worth noting that Berbera Port ranks 243rd despite having more developed infrastructure, with its performance held back by separatist policies. Bosaso Port, meanwhile, is not even in the competition due to UAE control of the port and its deliberate obstruction, effectively giving the advantage to Berbera Port, where the UAE has invested heavily, while efforts are now underway to take control of Garacad Port in Puntland and sideline it as well in favor of Berbera.
