This is available although currently not a main part of the port activities as mostly offloaded directly to consignee. Two transit shed/warehouses are available in the port area with a total area of 5,760 sqm. This is divided into 2 covered sheds of which one seems very busy and generally full time occupied. Total capacity between the two is approximately 120,000 metric tons although this is based on measurements with very high ceilings and no indoor crane facilities to stack that high. Local traders occupy one store since 1996, while the second one is available to port customers.
The latter can be used for maximum of 14 days free of charge, with a special agreement with Ethiopian goods in transit up to 1 month free of charge; thereafter, storage rent is charged that is higher than the storage charges outside the port with commercial enterprises. Open port storage is also available with 20,000 square metres space used for containers. Approximately 10+ containers were observed during visit only.
Available Storage (covered): 2 - 5,750 sqm or 120,000 mtn total
Available Storage (open air): 1 - 20,000 sqm
No storage to shed done.
Generally direct from ship, using ships gear directly on lorry and to WFP warehouse.

ALL basic stevedoring is US$ 4.00 per MT ( US$ 2.50 for aid cargoes )

Gangway watchmen available around the clock. Police and port security on internal and external perimeter duty 24 hrs daily.
Customs security available around the clock.

Due to the location of the port the entry points are sealed off and quite well guarded, however, security seems to be more geared towards deterring entry of private traders as opposed to potential security risks.
