Ethiopian Investment Holdings (EIH) proposed a fuel depot project in Djibouti to strengthen regional fuel logistics.
The depot is planned to support Ethiopia’s fuel import supply chain via the Djibouti corridor.
Ethiopia currently imports 100% of its fuel through Djibouti port infrastructure.
The project aims to reduce logistics bottlenecks and improve fuel storage capacity.
It is expected to enhance supply stability and lower distribution risks.
The proposal aligns with Ethiopia’s strategy to secure energy supply chains and reduce disruptions.
Why it matters?
Fuel is Ethiopia’s largest import bill. Expanding storage and control in Djibouti directly impacts costs, supply reliability, and logistics efficiency for transport, industry, and trade.
