In addition to an oil terminal the facilities can accommodate containers, general cargo, and bulk cargo.
The port foundation is tracked traced back more than a hundred years, and the current place was established in , a linear wharf of 300 meters, was established in 1968 by Soviet Union and expanded to a 350 meters linear wharf 300 meters.

The plan is to expand the port Quayside 400 meters and 250,000 square meter yard extension, the project is expected to commence in 2018. The government of Ethiopia is in the process of acquiring 19 % shareholding of the port. The port of Berbera which is located 973 east of Addis Ababa, is the second nearest port to serve the growing volume of Ethiopian cargo, which is congesting Djibouti, due to huge imports of humanitarian cargo, fertilizer and other shipments. At present, 97 % of Ethiopian import-export cargo is transported via the port of Djibouti and only 2 % goes through the port of Berbera and 1% through Port Sudan.

Entry into the harbour is straightforward except during the strong windy conditions that occur frequently during both the NE and SW monsoon periods. These winds tend to blow beam-on to vessels in the approach channel and at the commercial quays. With the lack of tug power to assist in maneuvering, ship safety is not optimal. In addition, a lack of effective navigation aids limits vessel entry and departure operations to daylight hours, from 6 am to 6 pm. The situation is occasionally aggravated by dust storms generated by strong winds that impair visibility.
Usual Wind Direction
At approximately 20 knots southward 220 degrees during the Morning hours and northward from 330 degrees at 13 Knots during the evening hours.
Strong wind period from June to September.
Water level
High tide and low tide fluctuates between 0.7 - 2.5m.
