Said Hassan, the General Manager of Berbera Port, confirmed that the facility received eight new gantry cranes.

The cranes make operations at the port more efficient.
They are capable of handling six containers and a truck lane wide load.
Other than that, the new Gantry Cranes are now capable of stacking containers that are over 5ft in height.
Berbera Port is currently under the management of Dubai Ports World (DPW) following an agreement signed with the government of Somaliland.
