Somalia Country Profile
Generic Information:
Somalia officially known as The Federal Republic of Somalia (in Somali: Jamhuuriyadda Federaalka Soomaaliya), is located in the Horn of Africa. It is bordered by Ethiopia to the west, Djibouti to the northwest, the Gulf of Aden to the north, the Indian Ocean to the east, and Kenya to the southwest. Somalia has the longest coastline on the mainland, and its terrain consists mainly of plateaus, plains and highlands. Hot conditions prevail year-round, along with periodic monsoon winds and irregular rainfall.
Somalia has a population of 10.3 million people (2013 Projection). About 85% of local residents are ethnic Somalis, who have historically inhabited the northern part of the country. Ethnic minority groups make up the remainder of the nation's population and are mainly concentrated in the southern regions. Somali and Arabic are the official languages of Somalia of which both belong to the Afro-Asiatic family. Most people in the territory are Muslims, the majority being Sunni.
Somalia has not had a central functioning Government since 1991, although Somaliland and Puntland both have a better stability and governance compared to the central and south, which have weaker government structures and diverse livelihoods. Somalia has one of the world’s highest numbers of internally displaced people estimated at 1.4 million. The high displacement of its population is believed to be caused by Food Insecurity, Armed Conflict, Political Instability, Dilapidated Infrastructure and its Volatile Markets.

|
International Conflict |
Yes | In October 2011, a coordinated operation between the Somali military and the Kenyan military began against the Al-Shabaab group of insurgents in southern Somalia.The mission was officially led by the Somali army, with the Kenyan forces providing a support role. In early June 2012, Kenyan forces were formally integrated into AMISOM.Analysts expect the additional AU troop reinforcements to help the Somali authorities gradually expand their territorial control. |
|

Yes | According to the UNHCR report dated from May 2013, over 1.1 million (1,132,963 peoples) have Somalis internally displaced been identified within the country, settled mainly in the South-Central region. |
|
Refugees Present |
Yes | Somalia is the country generating the third highest number of refugees in the world, after Afghanistan and Iraq. UNHCR leads protection and emergency relief interventions targeting 700,000 IDPs out of a total IDP population estimated at 1.1 million and over 2,300 refugees in Somalia. |
|
Landmines / UXO Present |
Yes |
As a result of conflict with Ethiopia and two decades of civil war, Somalia is littered with landmines, explosive remnants of war (ERW), stockpiles of weapons, and ammunition. According to recent reports, mine lying may still be occurring in the southern and central parts of the country and in the disputed Sool and Sanaag regions. The use of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) by armed groups has compounded the threats facing communities and aid organisations (Source: UNMAS - http://www.mineaction.org/programmes/somalia) |

SEASON PERFORMANCE Most rural livelihoods are expected to see marked improvements in their food security situation as a result of good seasonal performance of the Gu (main rainy season), according to results of the rapid preliminary assessment carried out by FAO. Some deterioration of the food security situation is however expected in the agro pastoral areas of Hiraan that experienced poor rainfall as well as the flood affected riverine areas in Jowhar (Middle Shabelle). A slight deterioration is also likely in parts of pastoral livelihoods in Mudug and Bari regions. The deterioration in these areas is attributed to poor performance of Gu rains, which affected pasture availability and crop performance. Source : UNOCHA http://www.unocha.org/somalia/ |

From (month) to (month) |
|
Primary Road Transport |
Somalia's network of roads is 22,100
km long. As of the year 2000, 2,608 km streets were paved and
19,492 km were unpaved, which almost all the main roads are in a
severe and very bad condition due to lack of proper maintenance
caused by the prolonged civil war. There are five major roads in
the country, which connects the main water corridors to the inland
towns. Two are from the port of Mogadishu, one from the northwest
port of Berbera, and single routes from both Bossaso and Kismayo.
The corridors are entirely served by road since Somalia has no
railway line. There are also two routes connecting to Djibouti and
Somaliland respectively. More details on Tarmac Roads in Somalia: http://www.ezilon.com/maps/africa/somalia-road-maps.html |
n/a |
|
Secondary Road Transport |
Roads have deteriorated due to lack of maintenance and intentional damage during civil unrest; some roads remain mined. Transportation therefore relies on impromptu diversions which cause delays and often a reason for increased transport charges during the rainy seasons by claiming roads are impassable and having to detour certain routes. During those rainy seasons, regional roads (non-tarmac) are subject to slow-go and no-go status. Many of these roads have lorries waiting for the road to dry up in which case waiting time increases and in the case of traffic can cause up to as much as 10 days delays. This is particularly the case also in areas inland bordering with Kenya and Ethiopia where rainfall tends to be higher and roads are often black cotton. |
The main rainy season, referred to as the Gu, lasts from April to June. The Dayr, which is the shortest rainy season, lasts from October to December. |

Rail Transport |
Railway transport in Somalia consisted
of the erstwhile Mogadishu-Villabruzzi Railway. The system was
built by the authorities in Italian Somaliland during 1910s. |

Pre-positioning of food quantities is generally the order of the day, however in view of insecurity in the country large stocking levels are not advisable. Stocking levels vary although 2 to 3 months is generally kept in storage although this is also dependent of commodity availability. The main commodities kept in stock are: sorghum, corn soya blend (CSB), pulses, plumpy nut and -sup, rice, sugar and vegetable oil. The rainy season has a minor effect, which is mostly short term due to low annual rainfall.
Capacity and Contacts for In-Country Emergency Response
Government
A National Disaster Management Authorities are responsible for developing and maintaining a strategic and legal framework on disaster management and emergency response. These are:
- Somali Disaster Management Agency (DMA) in Mogadishu.
The Somali Disaster Management Agency (SDMA) is the national
emergency management agency of the Federal Republic of Somalia.
On May 30, 2013, the Federal Government of Somalia announced that
the Cabinet had approved draft legislation on a new Somali Disaster
Management Agency (SDMA), which had originally been proposed by the
Ministry of Interior. According to the Prime Minister's Media
Office, the SDMA will lead and coordinate the government's response
to various natural disasters. It is part of a broader effort by the
federal authorities to re-establish national institutions. The
Federal Parliament is now expected to deliberate on the proposed
bill for endorsement after any amendments.
- National Environment Preparedness and Management Authority (NERAD) in Somaliland.
NERAD is an autonomous public institution of the Government of Somaliland, empowered by legislation as the official lead government institution with respect to disaster management and coordination in Somaliland.
- Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management Agency (HADMA) in Puntland.
The agencies may have limited capacity in early warning and response and rely mostly on external support from the international community.

4.1 Somalia Government Contact List
http://www.somaligovernment.org/contact.html
Somalia has not had a functioning central government since 1991. The election of the first president in 20 years leads to a new government and is the end of the roadmap for a beginning of a new prosperous Somalia. The federal government of Somalia has fully confirmed the existence of a quality control agent based in Mogadishu’s seaport and airport for the first time since 1991. Foreign firms will be responsible for checking and controlling food and other imported goods from abroad entering the country.
In Somaliland and Puntland the authorities are independently developing their institutions and communities. Somaliland has a National Development Plan (2012-2016) with economic, infrastructure, governance, social and environmental elements. Puntland is preparing its next five year plan on the basis of a regional development plan. The authorities in central Somalia and the border areas are generally under resourced and therefore relevant institutions are not yet in place.
Somaliland declared its independence from the greater Somalia in May 1991. The local government maintains informal ties with foreign governments. Neighbouring countries including Ethiopia, Djibouti and Yemen maintain trade relations. Ethiopia has a trade office in the region. As a self-declared country, there is no regional trade organization through which Somaliland maintains its trade. All remain informal.
The Somaliland Ministry of Finance is empowered for tax revenue, while Somaliland Quality Control Commission (SQCC) and Health Department for quality assurance. Pre-shipment inspection is usually done in two ways:
- Documentation must pass through the Ministries of Planning and Finance for checking and verification. Then it finally issues a Customs Clearance document.
- Upon arrival of the consignments to entry points (borders or port) the Health Department and SQCC conducts cargo inspection and verification against the documentation and quality before cargo is cleared for importation.
Civil Aviation Authority
The Somalia Civil Aviation Authority (SOMCAA) is the national
civil aviation authority of Somalia. Based in the capital
Mogadishu, it is under the aegis of the federal Ministry of Air and
Land Transport. After a long period of management by the Civil
Aviation Caretaker Authority for Somalia (CACAS), SOMCAA reassumed
control of Somalia's airspace at the end of 2013.

Information on Somalia Civil Aviation Authority
Revenue Generation and Administration
Somalia faces challenges in rebuilding the tax system; the government is committed to implement a robust revenue mobilization strategy that will incorporate strong transparency and accountability. After 20 years of civil conflict the Inland Revenue Department has been seriously weakened and plagued with severe operational challenges. There are challenges in the tax collection process due to the reasons that tax administrators have limited knowledge of tax laws and collection procedures and this weakens the tax control environment.
Customs
The Somalia Customs tariff is based on the Customs Cooperation Council nomenclature for imports classification. Duties range between 5% and 100% for items not eligible for preferential treatment. Customs duties collected at the Mogadishu port and the Mogadishu International airport is the government’s main source of revenue, averaging about $6.5 million per month in mid-2013. The basic tariff rates are unit based per 50 kg bag, per carton or per litre, with rates for only about 150 categories of goods. Two surcharges are imposed on the unit based duties; a 5% sales tax and 2% stamp duty. Port fees that are also collected are retained by the Port management for running costs.
Media
Media of Somalia includes various
radio, television, print and internet outlets. The federal
government operates two official radio and TV networks, which exist
alongside a number of private and foreign stations. Print media in
the country is progressively giving way to news radio stations and
online portals, as internet connectivity and access increases. In
February 2013, the Ministry of Information, Posts and
Telecommunication also launched a broad-based consultative process
for the reformation of media legislation.

Tourism
Tourism in Somalia is regulated by the Federal Government of Somalia's Ministry of Tourism. The industry was traditionally noted for its numerous historical sites, beaches, waterfalls, mountain ranges and national parks. After the start of the civil war in the early 1990s, the Tourism Ministry shut down operations. It was later re-established in the 2000s, and once again oversees the national tourist industry. The Mogadishu-based Somali Tourism Association (SOMTA) also provides on-the-ground consulting services. Headquartered in Mogadishu, the Somali Tourism Association (SOMTA) also provides consultancy services from within the country on the national tourist industry. Visas and stay permits are now mandatory for all foreign nationals. As of April 2013, the re-established Somali Immigration Department requires all foreigners to register at its offices in the capital.

Information and Communication Technology
Somalia was one of the only three African countries along with Sudan and Eritrea that missed the December 2012 deadline, set by the African Union in 2007 to connect all African capitals by fibre optic cable. Internet usage reaches only 3% of the population.
Establishment of Regulatory, Institutional and Legal Framework
The above establishment is expected to start soon. Somalia federal Government signed the concession agreement with Albyrak Company which is now operating and investing the port. The project is expected to complete within one year. WFP Somalia is financing the project. The objective of the project is the design an adequate institutional and legal framework, taking account of the proper reallocation of operating, policy and regulatory functions; the establishment and strengthening of a separate regulatory body; and the establishment of adequate environmental safeguards and controls.
Based on the analysis of existing legislation (such as the Port Authority Act, Competition and Anti-Monopoly legislation, and relevant environmental legislation) and their adequacy for the needs of the reformed sector on the basis of generally accepted principles, any necessary amendments or new laws will be proposed, including, if needed, the legal drafting of bylaws and regulations, (rules for market functioning, rules for regulatory regime, rules for tariff settings, environmental bylaws and regulations, etc. It will also include assistance in the establishment of the new regulatory body.
Finally, it will include the design and implementation of a training program for the regulator(s) and the technical staff of the regulatory body.
Somalia Sanctions
Individual or entities operating in Somalia should be aware of the various UN, EU and USA sanctions on Somalia.

1.3 Somalia Customs Information
In 1960 Somalia was declared
independent and the Government established a customs law for all
the UN agencies and other emergency and humanitarian organizations
requiring humanitarian cargo to be exempted from taxes. The Federal
Government continues to observe and follow that law, which is
article No 14.
The Government Institution that handles tax exemption is the
Customs Department of the Ministry of Finance. Without the
clearance of this department, no imports or exports are permitted,
as it is the sole agency that deals with the customs for both the
Sea Ports and Airports.
Normally the Customs department operates under a national law and
is authorized to examine the cargo in order to ascertain actual
description, specification volume or quantity, so that the value
and the rate of duty may be correctly determined and applied.
However, as a result of the civil war from 1991, Somalia has to
date remained without a centralized Government. The instability led
to the formation of two internationally unrecognized
semi-autonomous Governments of Somaliland and Puntland, which opted
to independently develop their institutions and communities. This
has also resulted to the existence of minor differences in Customs
Procedures in the Sea Ports and Airports as follows:
Customs Information – Somaliland
Customs matters in Somaliland are under the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Resettlement, Rehabilitation and Reintegration (MRRR) and Planning facilitate duty exemption. There are no specific regulations that are really properly set up. All goods except duty exempt goods pay dutiable values, which vary in taxable value. Goods are usually calculated by adding together various government duties and include all other taxes. All perishable goods are 18.7598% on landed values, luxury items 100%, agricultural materials are 12.283%. These lump sum taxes are made up of sales tax, local government tax, service charge and stamp duty respectively.
Duties and Tax Exemption
Humanitarian aid is imported duty and tax-free as long as the proper government requirements have been met. It may be possible to obtain a ‘blanket clearance’, for which customs clearance is processed per shipment and allows the right to import, clear the cargo from the port and store it.
Customs working hours are from 0600 hours to 1800 hours local time both at the borders and elsewhere in Somaliland.
For contact information regarding government custom authorities, please follow the link below:
4.1 Somalia Government Contact List
Emergency Response
There are no specific rules and procedures in place for emergency operations. However, in the case of large-scale emergencies procedures can be discussed with the Somaliland authority to lift the regulations to allow for more expedient operations. Formerly, the Somalia Government used to exceptionally do away with the existing regulations for a limited period of time. The self-declared Somaliland Government has not signed any agreements or conventions as a country but is supportive to UN and other humanitarian Organizations.

Exemption Regular Regime (Non-Emergency Response)
[Note: This section should contain information on the usual duties & taxes exemption regime during non-emergency times when there is no declared state of emergency and no streamlined process (e.g. regular importations/development/etc.).]
During periods of non-emergency and
when a state of emergency is no longer declared by the authorities
or the imported items are not meant for emergency programmes,
duties and tax exemptions are obtained through the normal Customs
Clearance processing when the required documents are presented.
Humanitarian organizations that are not registered with the country
and when they first arrive in the country, they inform the
respective authority by presenting their intended operational plan.
They must also submit an annual budget plan as well as an annual
report for the past year and so long as an organization is in the
country for humanitarian operations, it will qualify for tax
exemption.

2 Somalia Logistics Infrastructure
Somalia Logistics Infrastructure
The following section contains information on the logistics infrastructure of Somalia.
As a result of the civil war in Somalia between 1988 and 1991
there was no functioning central government in control of the
entire country. The instability caused total neglect of the
country’s infrastructure resulting to deterioration in the sea
ports, airports, warehousing, electrical supplies, roads and
bridges.
Somalia’s infrastructure including energy, roads, airports,
seaports, urban services and settlement has been systematically
destroyed during the years of conflict and for it to start
functioning properly it needs major rehabilitation. The poor
condition of the infrastructure has adversely affected livelihoods
and is a serious constraint to its economic growth.
With the small resources available, including meager contributions
from the diaspora and local community, Somalia has embarked in
revamping its dilapidated infrastructure targeting existing ports,
warehouses, roads, electrical supplies etc. Important to mention is
that the rehabilitation process is taking place independently,
meaning those infrastructures in Somaliland and Puntland are been
planned and executed by semi-autonomous governments, while the
Federal Government in Mogadishu continues to extend its reach to
the South and Central parts of the Country.
Improvement in this section has greatly helped humanitarian
organizations to respond in case of emergency and in normal
situation humanitarian deliveries.
Considering the present congestion at Djibouti Port, it is believed
that Berbera Port has a potential to expand to become an important
alternative port for Ethiopia.
Despite of the improvements to Logistics Infrastructures there
still remains a lot of work to be done. For example, Berbera Port
has small shore cranes with the maximum capacity of 75 mt, no fixed
cranes; caseload of existing tarmac road is 10 – 20 mt trucks
capacity, seasonal rivers delaying truck movements during rainy
seasons etc.
Investing in improving infrastructure in Somalia will be beneficial
to the commercial and private sector and the entire community.
In 1999 – 2002 at the peak of the EU funded cross border operation
between Somaliland and Ethiopia, the EU also had plans to improve
the road between Tog Wajale to Berbera, which was to provide tarmac
where it was most required to improve the condition of the road.
However that plan did not materialize and road condition
deteriorates.
2.1 Somalia Port Assessment
Somalia Port Assessment
Somalia has the longest coastline of any country in Africa at over 3,300 kms and is at the entry / departure point of one of the most important international commercial shipping lanes (the Suez Canal and via the Cape) in the world, through which the bulk of global sea-borne trade moves. Four major ports with sheltered deep water facilities handle practically all of Somalia ocean transport. They are Mogadishu, which imports much of the country’s general cargo and exports bananas, Berbera, which exports mostly livestock, Bossaso which handles livestock and general cargo and Kismayo which exports bananas, livestock and seafood
Most of Somalia’s international trade is handled by foreign vessels, supplemented by vessels from the state owned Somali Shipping Agency, which was established in 1974. Transport by coastal shipping within Somalia is limited despite the long coast line. Due to oil exploration in Somaliland and Puntland the Port of Berbera is seeing an increase in oil exploration equipment.
Somali Ports Authority (SPA) which is responsible for the administration, operation and maintenance of the country’s ports was created in 1962. Planning for the expansion and development of the ports as well as the execution of the ports infrastructural developments is the responsibility of the Ministry of Public Works and the finances of these projects are incorporated in the Governments Centralised Capital Investment Budgets. All cargo operations, except for the delivery and receipt of cargo at storage areas, are undertaken by SPA at all three ports using daily labour from labour cooperatives. Cargo handling equipment and the productivity is low as a result of insufficient mechanical handling equipment and the shortage of skilled workers. The standard of maintenance of port facilities and equipment is poor and workshop facilities are inadequate.

Port Overview
- 1991-2006: Closed for business as there were disagreements over who should control it
- May-December 2006: Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) takes over control of the entire city and reopens the port
- 2007-2009: Ethiopian forces, which ousted the UIC, secure the port and the WFP undertakes repair and refurbishment work
- 2009-present day: African Union and Somali government troops provide security - trade increases significantly.
- Mogadishu is Somalia’s largest port.
- In 2010 a new government was appointed, which then re-shuffled the port management and monthly revenue subsequently rose from US $0.9 million to over US $2.5 million.
- In October 2013, the federal cabinet endorsed an agreement with the Turkish firm Al-Bayrak, headed by Ahmed Salim, to manage the Port of Mogadishu for a 20-year period and also assigned Al-Bayrak responsibility for rebuilding and modernizing the port.
- In April 2014, the federal Government postponed finalization of the Seaport Management Deal pending the approval of a new foreign investment bill. The MPs also requested that the agreement be submitted to the legislature for deliberation and to ensure that the interests of the port's manual labourers were taken into account.
- In September 2014, the federal government officially delegated management of the Mogadishu Port to Al-Bayrak. Under the terms of the agreement, 55% of revenue generated at the seaport will go to the government and the remaining 45% is earmarked for the firm.
- The management transfer is expected to double the federal authorities' income from the Port. Al-Bayrak's modernization project will cost US $80 million.
- In accordance with international security protocols, the project will erect a modern port administration building and clean the ship entrance channels via underwater surveillance.
- As of September 2014, the first phase of the renovations are reportedly complete, with the second phase underway.
- During its first month of operation under Al-Bayrak, the port generated $2.7 million in service revenue.
- Total covered Storage space: 15,000 m² (Three warehouses of 5,000 m² capacity each).
- Large additional open storage space plus 30,000 m² for container marshaling yard.
- Cargo handling equipment: 9 x cranes of max capacity of 15 – 25
tons, 2 x forklifts of 5 tons and 4 x trailers of 15 tons.

Since Albayrak took over the port in September 2014, the port
mainly handles containerized cargos from various ports, three
liners fully operate in Mogadishu Alport (MAP). They are (MSC, CMA
CGM and Sima Marine). Containers are de-stuffed inside the port
which made the whole port open spaces container yards with full and
emptied containers. Business people adapted to the containers and
all incoming cargo are 80% containerized, apart from fuel, cement
and other construction items.
There were few times vessels with bulk cargo called the port. But mainly break bulk cargos are common goods received.
Customs Guidance
In 1960 during independence, The Somali government established a
custom law for the UN and international humanitarian Agencies that
exempts them from paying taxes. Still the current Federal
government follow that law which is under article 14. Tax exemption
is processed through the Customs Department of the Ministry of
Finance. Without the clearance of this department no imports or
exports can be released as it’s the responsible agency that deals
with customs matters for both Sea Ports and Airports.
The Customs department operates under a national law and is
authorized to examine the cargo for description verification,
specification volume and/or quantity to assess its value in order
to determine the correct taxes and customs duty.

2.1.2 Somalia Port of Berbera
Key port information can also be found at: Website of the Maritime Database on Berbera Port
Port Overview
Berbera Port is on the Northern coast of Somalia and is located on the Gulf of Aden. The Port is owned and operated by the Somaliland authorities. In addition to an oil terminal the facilities can accommodate containers, general cargo, and bulk cargo.
The port foundation is traced back more than a hundred years, and the current place, a linear wharf of 300 meters, was established in 1968 by Soviet Union and expanded to a 350 meters linear wharf in 1984 by United States of America. Since then the port has developed numerous properties as well as constructions.
The Port's task hasn’t changed over the years but its scope of services has expanded considerably. The port contributed significantly in the development of the Somaliland community.

Port Performance
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.

Port Handling Equipment
- Doubling the current container handling from six to twelve moves per hour is well within the realm of possibility. Acquisition of more materials handling equipment in conjunction with more efficient procedures could drastically improve vessel turn around and reduce time in port. This opens up the port for increased vessel traffic and reduces shipping costs to Berbera.
- The main port equipment and facilities include the Mayara and Tamara lighthouses at the entry of the port.
- Cargo handling equipment (10 x mobile cranes (70 mt), 2 x forklifts of 32 mt).
- Storage warehouses: Total area 5,760 m² with storage capacity up to 120,000 mt, open storage (64,000 m²) is available plus a container storage yard.
- In 2014 Berbera Port Authority initiated a major plan to expand the dry port by compacting an area of 700 m x 300 m and placing asphalt in which will be handled for containers as an additional container terminal. The construction is still ongoing and so far the authority has managed to accomplish 300 m x 100 m out of the planned development. The plan is to complete the new terminal by the end of July 2016.
-
The port currently only accommodates 35,000 tons
- The expansion of the Port of Berbera could cost more than $65 million. Ali Omar Mohamed, in charge of the Port of Berbera, recently stated that he imagines the port becoming 20 meters (22 yards) deep compared to its current 11.5 to 12 meters depth. At 20 meters, the port could accommodate the world’s largest container ship, weighing 300,000 tons. The expansion of the port is very much a documented expectation for the future of Somaliland (see the National Development Plan 2012-2016), but attracting private investors into the port remains an ongoing process.

Container Facilities
The increased usage of containers has contributed to the improvement of Berbera Port efficiency in vessel turnaround and handling. There is a consistent positive trend in the number of containers handled: in 2012 the port handled 21,538 containers, an improvement of 22% from 2009. Maersk and PIL Lines signed an agreement with Port Authorities to operate a regular service to the Port of Berbera and are represented in Berbera and the capital Hargeisa.

Port Performance
- Bossaso Port draft is 9 meters; the berth can only accommodate one ship at a time.
- There is no congestion reported of late. Humanitarian cargo does get priority although in principal, berthing is on first come first serve basis.
- Sometimes it has been observed that livestock and building materials ships get priority.
- Waiting time depends on cargo type. The main hindrance to the port is its smallness in structure of 150m in length and therefore cannot handle large numbers of vessels.

2.1.4 Somalia Port of Kismayo
Key port information can also be found at: http://www.maritime-database.com/ports/topports.php
Port Overview
The Port of Kismayo was built in 1966 for the purpose of exporting bananas and other small products and importing other agricultural machineries as well as other goods, as the road between Mogadishu and Kismayu was only accessible during the dry season therefore, the port was to cover the needs of the lower Jubba. After more than 20 years the port has not been maintained.

Port Picture
Description and Contacts of Key Companies
There are no registered companies that deal with the subject matter in terms of maritime rules, but local private companies can be found.
The condition of Kismayo seaport is not good since there have been no repairs or maintenance made for a long period of time. Buildings that have collapsed due to lack of maintenance cause hazards and makes the port dangerous to operate in. It has no toilets, electricity lightening and safe water for drinking.
For information on Somalia Port contact details, please see the following link: 4.4 Somalia Port and Waterways Company Contact List
Port Performance
- 80% of the port facilities are out of use.
- There is no congestion at the port manifested by the number of vessels that call at the port, but priority is always given humanitarian cargo.
- Currently there is an established procedure for inspection of ships carrying food to produce Phytosanitary and Drafting Certificates.
- Since the facilities are not complete, including offloading cranes, forklifts and other equipment to handle the goods during the offloading, it may take longer than expected.
- Twice a month vessels for the Mediterranean Shipping Company call with containerised cargo.
- Only Hormuud Business company imports goods in bulk (they specially import sugar in bulk) and sometimes does break bulk in Kismayo.

Customs Guidance
The new interim administration of Jubbaland state is expected to
set up custom offices for both seaport and airport as early as
possible. This will be subject to change if the government emanates
new draft laws regulating the fiscal laws nationwide.
No websites are available for the respective custom details.
There have been no standardized procedures for customs clearance in the port of Kismayo and it is hard to know if there are amendments on the existing ones. The Ministry of Finance and the Port Authority are, however, line ministries.
The Ministry of Information, Transport and Communication/Kismayo Port Authority and the Ministry of Finance jointly act as the regulatory body. They are responsible for checking all port operations and have no defined roles. The director is the head of all activities in Kismayo. They are assisted by the (AMISOM) Kenya Navy at the port in patrolling and checking of vessels.
For information on Somalia Customs details, please see the following link: 1.3 Somalia Customs Information
Terminal Information
Multipurpose Terminal
All that existed but for now remain non-operational.
Grain and Bulk Handling
Handling is possible if the ships have their own cranes and can be stored for short time in the existing precarious conditions of the warehouses.
Main Storage Terminal
There are only four warehouse facilities available in Kismayo port; all the warehouses belong to the port and are managed by the Port Authority.
Two of the warehouses in the port are being used by WFP and IOM. WFP warehouse is the largest warehouse with capacity 1,400 mt, and the rest are small.
Of the 3 main warehouses in Kismayo port, only one can be used for storage while the other 2 require rehabilitation.
Stevedoring
-
Hired casual workers for a day or two depending on the length of the activity.
- No formal stevedoring service exists but local individuals can provide.
Hiterland Information
- Items are moved out of the port by trucks and other small carriers directly to the destination of the goods and their capacity varies is between 25 – 40 mt.
- There are small unions that work periodically but they are not permanent.
- Kismayo has only one tarmac road that runs at the center of the town joining the airport, seaport and the presidential palace 15-18 km. Since the town of Kismayo has changed hands between militias multiple times, this road was adversely affected. It has been recently renovated by DAI-USAID funded organization. This same road extends to Jilib via Bulogadud-Gobweyn-Jamame and beyond Kismayo.
- This road is one of the most dangerous in Somalia, not only because of the terrain of the land and the status of the road but there are also over 10 illegal checkpoints and militia presence. At Jilib one branch goes to Mogadishu, another one to Afmadow while one joins Jilib to Bualle.
- Besides this there are other number of feeder roads that people and vehicles use to travel between the five villages of Kismayo. These feeder roads are equally in poor condition some of them are blocked by the sand dunes and garbage from the nearby blocks making transport difficult, costly and unsafe.
- A few of these roads have been jointly rehabilitated by WFP, local NGO (Intersom) and the local authority.
- The roads that connect Kismayo to Afmadow, Dobley, and Badhadhe are murram with black cotton soil impassible during rains.
Port Security
- Currently the port is fully under the responsibility of AMISOM.

2.2 Somalia Aviation
Somalia Aviation
Key airport information may also be found at: World Aero Data Website information on Somalia
As of Nov 2013, Somalia has 62 airports. 7 of these have paved runways. Among the latter, four have runways of over 3,047 m; two between 2,438 m and 3,047 m; and one 1,524 m to 2,437 m long. There are 55 airports with unpaved landing areas. One has a runway of over 3,047 m; four are between 2,450 m to 3,050 m in length; twenty are 1,500 m to 2,450 m; twenty-four are 900 m to 1,500 m; and six are less than 900 m.
For nearly two decades, a small United Nations body has managed
Somalia’s airspace without Somali involvement and international
oversight. The Civil Aviation Caretaker Authority for Somalia
(CACAS), based in Nairobi, was formed in 1996 as a joint effort of
UNDP and the International Civil Aviation Organisation, to ensure
safe air transport over Somali airspace in the absence of a
functional central government.
Due to a poor and often-unsafe road network and the seasonable
availability of seaports, the airports of Somalia have become vital
trading platforms and essential gateways to the country,
stimulating local business, economic development, employment and
communications.
The programme is primarily funded from air navigation charges
applied to air operators transiting Somali airspace and landing at
Somali airports. This revenue is however insufficient to meet the
demands to rehabilitate maintain and develop air transport
infrastructure which is essential to humanitarian, developmental
and commercial activities. The Somali Civil Aviation Authority is
the national civil aviation body of Somalia. Based in the capital
Mogadishu, it is under the aegis of the federal Ministry of Air and
Land Transport.
After a long period of management by the Civil Aviation Caretaker
Authority for Somalia, Somalia Civil Aviation Authority is slated
to reassume control of Somalia's airspace by the end of 2013. In
preparation for the transition, staffs within Somalia are set to
receive training. Over 100 airspace personnel are to be transferred
to Mogadishu for management duties.
CACAS – Civil Aviation Caretaker Authority for Somalia Website: CACAS Civil Aviation Authority for Somalia Website
The Somali Federal Government has begun preparations to revive
the national carrier, Somali Airlines. The Somali authorities along
with the Somali Civil Aviation Steering Committee (SCASC) a joint
commission composed of officials from Somalia's federal and
regional governments as well as members of the CACAS, ICAO/TCB and
UNDP convened with international aviation groups in Montreal to
request support for the ongoing rehabilitation efforts.
The SCASC set a three-year window for reconstruction of the
national civil aviation capacity. It also requested the complete
transfer of Somali civil aviation operations and assets from the
CACAS caretaker body to the Somali authorities.

2.2.1 Somalia Aden Abdulle International Airport Mogadishu
Aden Abdulle International Airport is the former Mogadishu
International Airport; it is an international airport serving
Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. It is named after Aden Abdullah
Osman Daar, the first President of Somalia. Originally a modest
sized airport, the facility grew considerably in size in the
post-independence period after numerous successive renovation
projects.
With the outbreak of the civil war in 1991, flight services at Aden
Abdulle International airport continued experiencing routine
disruptions. However, with the minimal security improvement in
Mogadishu during the years 2010-2011, a large-scale rehabilitation
of the ground’s infrastructure and services has resumed.
By early 2013, the airport had restored most of its facilities and
introduced several new features, with further upgrades in the
works.

Security
Safety and security is a priority for the Somali Civil Aviation and Meteorology Authority. When travelling by plane you will be required to go through Passenger Security Screening for a security check. This security check is related to what you are allowed to take with you on board. This is to ensure that you are not carrying any potentially dangerous substances or items that could pose a risk to the passengers and crew or to the security and safety of the aircraft. Mogadishu Aden Abdulle International Airport recommends arrival at the airport at least 2 hours before scheduled flight departure. Passengers are advised to carry ONE piece of hand luggage. Sharp objects should be removed from carry-on luggage and placed in checked-in luggage. Security is provided by AMISOM together with private company and Somali Police.

2.2.4 Somalia Bossaso International Airport (Puntland)
Bender Qasim International Airport, which serves Bossaso, is operative only during the daytime. Travelers can obtain visas upon arrival.
The airport has been upgraded and the upgrade cost about US $10 million. The renovation work aimed to expand the airport’s runway from 1.7 km to 2.6 km, construct duty-free shops, improve parking areas for both passenger and cargo planes, and cars and expand immigration offices. The expansion exercise was launched in December 2014 and was accomplished in January 2016. The project was undertaken by China Civil Engineering and Construction Company (CCECC).
Planes with much bigger capacities will now be able to fly directly to the port city. Recently the flights were provided by small air charter firms with small crafts.

2.3 Somalia Road Network
Somalia has a road network extending over some 15,000 km, with almost all the main roads in poor condition due to lack of proper maintenance and repairs caused by the long period of civil war. There are five major roads in the country, which connect the main water corridors to the inland towns. Two are from the port of Mogadishu, one from the northwest port of Berbera, and single routes from both Bossaso and Kismayo. The corridors are exclusively accessed or served by road since Somalia has no railway lines. There are also two routes connecting to Djibouti and Somaliland respectively.
Transport in Somalia refers to the transportation networks and modes of transport in effect in Somalia. They include highways, airports and seaports, in addition to various forms of public and private vehicular, maritime and aerial transportation. A 750 km highway connects major cities in the northern part of the country such as Bossaso, Galkayo and Garowe, with towns in the south. In September 2013 the Somali Federal Government signed an official cooperation agreement in Mogadishu with the Chinese Government being part of a five year national recovery plan. The agreement is for China to reconstruct several major infrastructural landmarks in the Somali capital and elsewhere, which includes the road between Galkayo and Burao in the northern part of the country.

Road Class and Surface Conditions
Condition of Roads crossing into Somalia from the neighbouring
Countries
There are about 500 – 700 trucks available in the market.
There are several challenges and access limitations that affect
users of the road between Mombasa and the three border areas of
Southern Somalia particularly during the rainy season. Some of the
bottlenecks during the rainy seasons are as follows:
- There is an area of about 10 – 16 km between Hola and Garissa where most of the small bridges are either damaged or washed away by the recent floods which makes it almost impassable during rainy seasons. The situation was caused by the heavy rains that pounded the lower eastern part of Kenya rendering some sections of the Hola – Garissa road impassable.
- The section between Dadaab and Liboi is an earth road in poor condition and impassable during rainy seasons. These sections are the main supply route for the Humanitarian Agencies including the UN who are operational in the area and are continuously carrying out road maintenance to avert interruptions of supplies to the refugee camps.
There are no major road constructions or maintenance currently underway at the moment on this main road linking the Kenyan Port of Mombasa and Somalia border towns. Security situation along the route remains relatively calm as the Kenyan Government engages in the deployment of security forces on various sections of the road. There is a newly constructed way bridge in Mtwapa about 13 km from Mombasa. It is expected however that it will result to higher transport rates as the Somali contractors are required to abide by the Government customs regulations.
Galkayo
Galkayo is the capital of Mudug central Region of Somalia; it links the southern part to the northern regions of the country. The main road from the capital Mogadishu passes through the town of Galkayo. Galkayo itself is divided into two Administrative Authorities, the north is controlled by Puntland and the south of the town is controlled by Galmudug. Therefore Galkayo is well located in a strategic central point, which provides the vital commercial lifeline between southern and northern regions including the rest of the country. Currently this road is mainly used for transporting livestock to the Port of Bossaso and sometimes to the Port of Berbera. It is also used by traders for transporting cargoes of food and non-food items to the Central, Hiran, and Bakool regions.
Galkayo links Bossaso with the Central and Hiran regions as all these regions mainly depend on goods imported through Bossaso Port. The road between Bossaso and Beledweyn through Galkayo is in a good condition. It is approximately 750 km from Galkayo to Bossaso and the same goes to the distance between Galkayo and Mogadishu but the road section between Beledweyn and Mogadishu is not as good as the Galkayo – Bossaso section. In addition to the road infrastructure, there are large private investments in Galkayo but foreign investment is rare in the region, there could be more in the capital Mogadishu. Business opportunities in Galkayo are expanding as movements between Galkayo and the Port of Bossaso is on the increase.
Due to floods during the rainy season there have been a few road blocks between Bossaso and Garowe which negatively impacts the link to Galkayo and for the time being there is no planned or on-going projects in the area. In addition, Galkayo has a day shift operational airport with some flights of United Nations and privates sectors. These flights link to the rest of the country as well as international flights to and from the country. In conclusion, the logistics infrastructure in the area provides for the current needs but it requires improvements.
Mogadishu
Mogadishu has a road network that connects to most of the regions in the southern Somalia. The main roads are in poor condition due to the above mentioned factors.
The existing main road network is as below:
- Mogadishu – Afgoi – Wenleweyn – Burhakaba – Baidoa: 280 km
- Mogadishu – Afgoi – Shalambod – Merca – BuloMarer – Jilib: 370 km
- Mogadishu – Balad – Jowhar – Burweyn – Beledweyn: 335 km
- Mogadishu – Eelm’an – Warshiekh – Cadale: 180 km
All the above-mentioned roads were built over 30 years ago and have not received proper maintenance for a long period resulting in pot holes that hinder the movement of heavy trucks. The rainy seasons are the worst periods to use these roads when much of southern Somalia become almost impassable and dangerous, specially the paved roads, which has pockets of holes filled with water in the middle of tarmac roads. Apart from the main roads there are secondary roads that are worse than the main roads. They are passable but insecure and therefore not recommended for use of humanitarian cargo transport.
Somaliland (Hargeisa)
The inland and overland transport has resulted in a successful road network that extends thousands of kilometers. The transport industry consists of individual transporters and small ranges of agencies. For cargo movement, trucks of capacities which extend from 5 mt to 30 mt are commonly used. Trucks are hired from the individuals’ owners at market rates per destinations.
In Somaliland there are enough trucks available to transport cargo within and across the borders. The majority of the roads in Somaliland are murram, block cotton or red soil and sandy along the coastline. Maintenance is done regularly to the tarmac roads, but because of the poor quality of maintenance, does not last long and will have short endurance.
There are limit loads for trucks, especially for the tarmac roads (5 to 15 mt trucks capacity), but the non-tarmac roads depend on the seasonal situation where rainy seasons create slow traffic. As the commonly used truck capacity is 20 to 30 MT, tarmac roads get deteriorated, but don’t see any proper plan for their development.
For cargo movement, trucks of capacities which extend from 5 mt to 30 mt are commonly used. Trucks are hired from the individual owners at market rates per destinations. Rehabilitation roads are from Hargeisa to Berbera; from Berbera to Buroa; from Hargeisa to Borame; from Hargeisa to Wajaale and one newly established road which connected from Burao to Erigavo.
There are around 8 major roads in Somaliland which connect to other parts of the country. Among them are:
- Berbera - Hargeisa – Gabiley - Kalabaydh - Tog Wajale: It is 253 km. It is one of the tarmac and good condition roads in Somaliland, with the exception from Kalabaydh to Wajale (19 km), while between Berbera to Kalabaydh is tarmac and usually maintained by the local authority. There is a plan to construct tarmac in this part of marrum, but it not sure when this plan will materialize. This road is busy, with an estimated over 30,000 mt cargoes passing through per month. This road is now occasionally used by WFP Somalia to feed Gedo region and WFP Ethiopia for Zone Five. Turnaround for Dire Dawa is 3 days. There is much traffic movement on this road and with the condition, no delays have been observed even during the rainy seasons.
- Hargeisa – Berbera – Burao – Las Anod: It is a tarmac road and poorly maintained. Again this road was built for low tonnage vehicles only. It is the third busiest road for trade movement. The road that connects between Berbera and Burao was constructed in 1982. This is the road that takes you to Puntland, Central regions and South Somalia.
- Hargeisa – Gabilely – Borma – Lowya addo: It is 396 km. The road is tarmac from Hargeisa to Borama with the exception of 2 km before reaching Borama which is currently under construction. Between Borma and Lowya addo, the road is marrum and sandy which hinders smooth traffic movement during rainy seasons.
- Berbera – Lughaye - Lowya addo: It is 320 km. The road is sandy along the coastline that goes to the Somalia-Djibouti border at Lowya addo. It is the second road used for this corridor, but directly from Berbera without passing through Hargeisa town. This road has no limit of truck load as it is not tarmac. During dry seasons, this road is mostly used by trucks as it is short distance comparatively.
- Burao – Yarowe – Ina Afmadobe - Garag - El Afweine – Erigavo or Burao – Yarowe – Ainabo – Oog – Goosaweyne – Sincaro – El Afweine - Erigavo: It is 400 km. The road is tarmac from Burao to Ina Afmadobe or from Burao up to Oog. Except for 40 km of gravel, the rest of the road is rough.
- Berbera–Las-anod- Trucks dual plate numbers are used for this exit point. The road is good tarmac but poorly maintained and with potholes. However, it is one of the good roads and potentially can be used for cross border deliveries. Due to some tension between Somaliland and Puntland authorities, smooth functioning is affected. From Afmadobe to Erigavo or from Gowsaweyne to Erigavo roads are also commonly used. This road is a non-tarmac road with slow deliveries during rainy seasons. Generally speaking, turnaround is 3 to 4 days.
The most recently repaired roads include Hamas to Berbera (about 40 km), Berbera to Sheikh (about 60 km), Kalabaid to Wajaale and Kalbaoid to DIla.
An attempt was made to get official trucking capacity figures from the Somaliland government and the estimate is about 8,000 trucks including smaller vehicles.
Bridges
There are many iron and concrete bridges in southern Somalia and of differing sizes, some for large trucks while others are only for small and light vehicles. The conditions of the bridges are unpredictable due to lack of maintenance for long periods; therefore they should be used with caution. There are very few bridges in Somaliland. River crossings or Irish crossings are common to seasonal conditions. Currently there are 12 culverts of which 8 were destroyed during the civil war, but rebuilt.
Bridges are located in districts with rivers as mentioned below:

The new Federal government of Somalia has established a Ministry of Public Works and Construction that will handle and address the overall infrastructure problems of the country. Although it has not been officially publicized, it’s believed the current projects involving rehabilitation of existing roads in Mogadishu and the surrounding areas has been handed over to the Turkish Government.

2.4 Somalia Railway Assessment
Somalia Railway Assessment
Rail transport in Somalia consisted of the erstwhile
Mogadishu-Villabruzzi Railway, which ran from Mogadishu to Jowhar,
114 km in total.
The system was built by the colonial authorities in Italian
Somaliland in the 1910s.
The track gauge was 950 mm (3 ft. 1 3⁄8 in). It was dismantled in
the 1940s by the British during their military occupation of the
territory. To date it has not been revived.

Mogadishu
Mogadishu is an urban area where both commercial and
humanitarian agencies use storage facilities in order to store
commercial and humanitarian cargoes before delivery. Most stores
are located in or near the main markets and government protected
areas like Ports. WFP has only one store of its own, but there are
other rented stores and Wiikhalls that are erected in Mogadishu
Port and near El-ma ’an.
The main warehouses are situated in Mogadishu Port. The Port has
three storage facilities each one is 5,000 m² and their capacities
are 15,000 mt each.
- Shed #1 is currently used by the Government for bilateral donation.
- Shed #2 is rented to WFP.
- Shed #3 is currently used by the Turkish Government.
One CFS is currently not in use due to poor condition that it
requires major repairs. There is an open yard for outside storage
which is not developed and requires a lot of improvement.
If private storage is required, it can be sought through
transporters and owners
North West Somalia - Berbera and Hargeisa
There are a few commercial storage facilities in Somaliland. The
total capacity is approximately 200,000 mt in Berbera and 100,000
MT in Hargeisa. There are no customs bonded warehouses other than
at Hargeisa Egal International airport that has one with a capacity
of approximately 1,000 mt, which includes open air storage.
The current private owned storage rates in Somaliland are around
US$0.50 /mt/month. Omaar Company is charging US$0.15 m³/day. It is
not known whether there is any handling equipment. Storage
facilities owned by Omaar Company are the most popular in
Somaliland.

Storage Used by Humanitarian Organizations
There are over 50 Humanitarian organizations including UN
agencies and NGOs operating in Somaliland. Very few of them have
large items, while others with very small scales of operation.
Humanitarian organizations with large operations can either run
their own facilities or opt to enter into contracts with private
service providers. WFP is the largest humanitarian organizations
which require big warehouses for food storage. WFP is using
warehouses provided by the Somaliland authority for free.
WFP was also recently allocated a plot of land in Berbera by the
Berbera Mayor with dimensions of 850 m x 300 m for WFPs’
humanitarian operations. WFP is in the process of developing the
area for its operations. Temporary mobile storages are expected to
be installed as the hub is not meant to hold commodities for
prolonged periods of time but will be operated at a high
through-put to carter for the large quantities of food and non-food
commodities that will be arriving on board cargo vessels. Both Red
Crescent and Red Cross do operate in Somaliland. They have small
stores for medicines and general cargo.

2.7 Somalia Milling Assessment
Somalia Milling Assessment
The milling capacity of the country does not meet the demand of
the local population. Small scale millers mainly operate in the
country and are owned by individuals. The mills assessed belong to
individuals and has the capacity to meet local demand. For example
Hargeisa town has more than 35 millers and they are all privately
owned and machines are used in markets for business milling for
specific commodities (mainly maize). The machines have water-cooled
diesel engines of the millers provide storage services.
Normal cost is US$3 for each 50kg bag. Bags are provided by the
goods owner but can be locally purchased at a cost of US$0.40 per
empty bag.
Millers available in Somaliland are individuals, the mills are
privately owned and of small scale. Milling machines made in Japan,
Germany, Poland, India etc. are often old. Demand for milling
services in Somaliland is increasing day by day due to the inflated
cost or price of the imported milled food. Poor people, who
constitute 70 % of the population, took the option to do milling
locally as the price of the locally produced grain is cheaper.
There are so many small mills in the country owned by individuals
who provide milling services. However, Bouni Company based in
Hargeisa town is organized, as it has established office space,
obtained adequate milling capacity, communications etc. Bouni
reported that it has the milling capacity of 30 MT/day, while
others reported between 5 MT to 25 MT/day. Bouni mills are located
in 3 areas in Hargeisa town, one adjacent to Hargeisa Radio being
the main centre; one is 2 km away, while the two are 4 kms from WFP
Warehouse Hargeisa.
In all main Hargeisa market, there are approximately 25 mills in
seven different locations within Hargeisa town. Total capacity of
all mills in Hargeisa is around 150 MT/day, though it can be
affected by demand in local market. No storage facilities exist at
the mills. Usually, milled food is collected weekly or daily from
the millers in batches in a number of tonnages. The millers never
provided services of packing and markings. If encouraged, they
might provide this services as reported by the owner of Bouni
Company. Bouni is among the small scale millers in Somaliland as
there are no large millers in the country. It provides only milling
services, but no packing, storages facilities etc.

3 Somalia Logistics Services
Somalia Logistics Services
Disclaimer: Registration does not imply any business relationship between the supplier and WFP / Logistics Cluster, and is used solely as a determinant of services, and capacities. Please note: WFP / Logistics Cluster maintain complete impartiality and are not in a position to endorse,comment on any company's suitability as a reputable service provider.
The following sections contain information on the logistics services of Somalia
The main logistic service in Mogadishu and its surrounding areas are concentrated in the port of Mogadishu and it’s in the form of cooperatives like transport cooperative, MMD (Muruq Maalka Dekeda) which is the sole stevedoring company in Mogadishu. Recently, private companies providing logistical services have emerged and there are specialized companies for logistics, such as Alpha Logistics, Integrated Logistics, Trans-oceanic and other small local small scale companies that have contracts with the UN and International NGOs.
Most traders in Mogadishu offer their logistics services
individually, but in general, as a result of lacking government
guidance and regulations the standard of available services is
below average.
The Somaliland Authority governed as self-declared country is not
recognized by the International Community but has limited logistics
services providers for large scale operation.
Services providers of transportation, warehousing, handling, clearing & freight forwarding, stevedoring, superintendence, reconstitutions, bagging, tally service, security, pest control, waste disposal, re-filling fire extinguishers, electricity, telecommunications, fuel etc. are available at a reasonable level of operation. However, bagging for bulk cargoes and pest control services are contracted to Foreign Service providers as these services have not yet been confirmed available in the country.
Service providers are private companies and they perform their work within national regulations. This does not mean that they are controlled, but they freely enter a contract with any organizations. However, the service providers are all registered under the concerned Ministry of Somaliland Government. No silos or bagging facilities are offered unless contracted to foreign companies at high price. The biggest capacity of cranes available is 75 mt, no fixed cranes for big operations. Storage facilities are limited and neither recognized and specialized fumigation services nor food testing laboratories, instead are hired from foreign companies. There are no emergency helicopters for airdrops in case of emergencies.
Despite the above mentioned gaps, organizations try to reduce the gaps in either hiring some services from foreign companies especially from neighboring countries, capacity building is provided to local staff, equipment imported, mobile storage, construction of warehouses etc.
3.1 Somalia Fuel
For information on Somalia Fuel contact details, please see the following link: 4.7 Somalia Fuel Provider Contact List
Currently, most oil is imported from the Arabian Gulf by a group of Somali oil dealers who normally share the cost incurred. In fact the oil importers use foreign tankers with different capacities to import the product. Sometimes there are small dealers who do not afford to use tankers; they import oil in drums as retailers, and distribute in drums for the market retailers.
The following are major Fuel Import Locations in the country
- Mogadishu Port
In Mogadishu, the main and only port storage facilities available are Costalina and Somalia Fuels Company (SFC). Costalina has a sea port terminal with capacity of 41.5 million liters operating in Diesel, Petrol and Jet A-1. Somalia Fuel Company (SFC) has a capacity of 47 million Liters similarly operating in Diesel, Petrol and Jet A-1. These two terminals are the main intermediate supply storage depots for Mogadishu and Northern Somalia.
Foreign jet oil companies had recently entered the market particularly at the airports like Sky who now operate inside Mogadishu International Airport. In addition to Foreign based companies, Costalina and HASS Petroleum are local companies that are currently handling commercial Aviation Operations inside Mogadishu International Airport. These local companies also operate in Ground Fuels (Diesel, Petrol) with HASS also supplying LPG in Mogadishu. HASS Petroleum has international connection in African operating in Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, D.R Congo, Rwanda and South Sudan.
Costalina Sea Port Terminal (Total Storage Capacity of 41.5 Million Litters)
Somalia Fuel Company (SFC) Sea Port Terminal (47 Million Liters storage capacity)
2. Barbara and Boosaaso Ports
The most and important location in Somaliland is Berbera Fuel Terminal, which is next to the Berbera Port, but the Fuel facility at Barbara is not currently under use. The fuel terminal is controlled by the government, which also manages distribution. However there are many private businesses that also distribute fuel from the government. There is no oil depot for the government; the oil flow is controlled by the Somali private companies.
In Somaliland, the current operational Fuel facility is in Boosaaso Port, Even though, Boosaaso port does not have proper Jetty and only equipped with smaller capacity facilities both in Fuel and Dry cargo handling, it is the current supply point for Fuel for surrounding area (including Barbara) and also locations as far as Beledweyne in Puntland area.
In October 2015, Berbera Oil terminal was privatized by the Somaliland authority and handed over to the following private companies who will control Berbera Oil Terminal:
- Red Sea
- HASS Petroleum
- Reem Petroleum
- SOMOIL Petroleum
- SOM Petroleum
- Waraabe Petroleum
- Indha Birta
The entry points for the imported fuel into the country are mainly the port towns like Mogadishu, Kismayo, Bossaso and Berbera. Mogadishu, Barbara and Boosaaso have suitable fuel operating means due to the availability of Storage tanks at port points, Kismaayo is not developed for bulk supply options due to unavailability sea port storage tanks and supply is usually made in smaller packages (drums usually). It is further supplied and transported all over the country by private fuel dealers.
Somali towns such as Dolow are supplied from Mogadishu via Baidoa - Luuq and it’s one of the most expensive fuel prices in Somalia because of the transport costs. Supply in Southern Somalia is subject to security situation on the routes and availability and price at remote locations similarly vary. In additional to inland supplies, some of the Southern and Middle Somalia places depend on cross border supplies from Kenya and Ethiopia. These cross borders are also very rare and tough due to security and associated neighboring countries customs` regulations.

Fuel Pricing
-
- Cost of fuel varies from place to place inside Somalia mainly due to the supply logistics constraints; with Mogadishu being the lowest @ $96 to 159 per US barrel in retail markets (depending of locations). Other parts of the country can have as high as $214 per US barrel even some specific areas going up to $255 per US bbl.
- This is attributable to the international oil price, logistics, security for road supply constraints, fuel facility availability at outside locations and the cost of hiring vessels due to the piracy in the coast of Somalia.
- Although prices have started to reduce, the current high fuel prices are expected to remain as long as the Middle East crisis continues.

Seasonal Variations
- Due to Somalia's proximity to the equator, there is not much seasonal variation in its climate although sometimes there are unpredictable rainfalls.
- Hot conditions prevail year-long sometimes together with monsoon winds and irregular rainfall. Seasonal variations can be observed in the months of May, June, July, August and mid-September, as the monsoon directions change.
- During this time oil traders sell what they have in stores with a slight price increase.
- The fuel prices depend on Dubai oil merchants who control the fuel market.

Fuel Transportation
In Southern Somalia fuel transport is carried out by truck tankers. From the other ports (Boosaaso, Barbara), fuel also is transported to other inland areas by trucks. Somali transporters have vehicles which serves double purpose; when they want to transport fuel they will load the tanker to the truck trailer and when they are transporting cargo they will use the plat form of the trailer. It’s estimated that around 1,000 tankers are available in Mogadishu. In addition to the above, companies like Costalina Oil Terminal, with joint venture of Fine Jet, have recently installed a pipe line from the vessel directly to their depots in the seaport . Fuel from Sea port storage to Airport area depot is transported with fuel truck tankers.
The trucks used for transportation are very old and mostly do not meet the standard requirements for safety and quality. With complete absence of regulatory body for enforcing safety and Quality requirements, these critical requirements are left to the fuel companies and client requirements. a significant
Standards, Quality and Testing
- There is no authority that controls the quality and the standard of imported oil.
- There is no accredited laboratories for product quality specification tests. Costalina has currently in-house lab testing facility but not accredited and not covering all the test requirements.
- Importers honor the international standard as it’s a competitive market and this will compel all the transporters to abide.

3.2 Somalia Transporters
Somalia Transporters
Local transport- buses, mini-buses, trucks and hired taxis are available for local commuting or for traveling from one city to another. Travelling by road can be dangerous and tedious since major parts of roads are unpaved. There are not many local notable transport companies with a significant number of trucks, however there are a few private companies. Somali Transport Co-operatives are the major players; they are reliable and trusted in Mogadishu, and have offices in the sea port.
All trucks that are under this cooperative are coded “PL” and
small transporters depend on this cooperative except a few
potential transport companies such as Trans-ocean and Alpha
Logistics.
In Southern Somalia, trucks of 10 – 30 mt are mostly used in
Somalia but in some occasions they are converted so as to carry
more payloads, in addition to their designed loading capacity.
Nevertheless, the new government of Somalia is trying to
standardize the capacity of the trucks by banning the overloading
that is beyond the rated capacity.
Estimated capacity at Mogadishu is around 36,000 mt of varying trucks capacities between 15 – 40 mt. There is a floating pool of over 2,200 trucks. The majority of the trucks are more than 20 years old and in poor condition with high running costs. Lately there has been a slight improvement in the capacity and condition of trucks in and around Mogadishu due to arrival of trucks purchased from Kenya and the UAE. Gradual changes being observed in the number of foreign transport companies operating in Somalia shows an increase but with special joint venture arrangements with local Somali businessmen or local companies that provide services in similar fields.

3.3 Somalia Manual Labor Costs
Somalia Manual Labor Costs
Mogadishu
Somalia is a developing country where a lot of work is manual.
There is not enough machines easily available, therefore minimum
use of machines. Costs of manual labour depend on nature of the
work and whether labour is skilled or unskilled. Somali Ministry of
Labour concentrates on issuing work permits but falls short of
regulating it. Labour terms and any form of agreements are
privately negotiated with the employer.
There is sufficient manual labour in Mogadishu. However there is
job scarcity with the current Government challenged with creation
of opportunities for the high number of unemployed individuals.
Apart from the private companies, there are a few unions that were
formed by the former Said Barre regime. But after the regime the
unions remained without any legislation. The common unions are MMD,
Mogadishu Stevedoring Union which provides porters at Mogadishu
Port.
The main areas of manual work are the construction sites, port
operations and plumbing and electrical works. Rates depend on the
nature, intensity and complexity of the job to be done.

One of the main challenges Somalia is facing is weak human resource capacity and inadequate operational support facilities. Before the civil war, Somalia had a well-established civil management system such as labour related dispute settlement and retirement benefits. The systems have collapsed and with time the professionals and the experienced people have moved out of the country.
Somaliland
There is no standard labour payment and therefore, each entity
provides differently, however, the differences might not be much.
Types of work can also determine actual deserved payment for
skilled, semi-skilled and un-skilled labourers. Sometimes due to
weather conditions (extreme heat, hardship etc.) in Berbera,
labourers demand higher rates comparing to the rest of the country.
Labourers in the Ministry of Finance are paid higher than other
labourers in the other government ministries in order to reduce
corruption rates.
At the Port of Berbera, there is a labour union called Gelle
(porters) and their payment is much higher as they charge US$3.50
per MT. Labourers are available for all job categories and there
are no restrictions for hiring them. It is possible to have direct
contracting without passing through Ministry of Labour. Common
areas of work include national services, International Agencies,
LNGOs, commercial companies, individuals etc.
In Somaliland national labourers are categorized in to A, B, C
and D and their pay vary depending on the respective categories. In
normal construction work, skilled, semi-skilled and un-skilled
labourers are paid differently as well, US$6.15 for unskilled, US$8
for semi-skilled and US$12.30 per day for skilled workers. As
stated above, demand for higher rates is common in Berbera. Due to
the weather and hardship, they demand US$10 for un-skilled, while
US$15 for skilled labourers per day, especially for installation of
mobile storages including mobile storage units such as
Wiikhalls.
Security guards are also paid US$15 per day. As living cost is very
high in Berbera and the weather is not favourable, resignations
from staff is high.
During the Holy Month of Ramadan, working hours remain the same (8
hours/day) theoretically, but the output is not as high as other
times. The Port of Berbera is operational for 14 hours per day for
break bulk cargoes and for general goods, while it is declared 24
hours operational for bulk cargoes. The shift from 14:00 hours to
16:00 hours is removed during the Ramadan and therefore, the 2
hours is added to late working hours – work stops at 0400 hours
instead of 0200 hours.

3.4 Somalia Additional Service Providers
Somalia Additional Service Providers: Vehicle Rental, Taxi Companies, Freight Forwarding Agents, Handling Equipment, Power Generation and ISPs
Vehicle Rental
Individuals provide their cars for hiring in Somalia. There are no organizations for car hire in Somalia.
Taxi Companies
The Mogadishu Taxi Company commenced operations in 2013 and it’s the first taxi service of yellow cabs in the city. Charges are $1 per kilometre. Locals use buses to get around for around about $0.10.
Freight Forwarding Agents
Alibaba Website on Somalia Freight Forwarding Information
Handling Equipment
World Bank Information on Somalia Handling Equipment
Electricity and Power
The company responsible for electricity generation and supply in
Somalia is Ente Nazionale Energia Elettrica, known as ENEE. A few
diesel generators are installed and located around the capital
Mogadishu. Civil war has seen the electrical infrastructure get
destroyed and restraining power supply in the country.
The Ethiopian power company, Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation
(EEPCO) is providing power to twelve Somali towns. Somalia has
recently installed diesel generators with capacity of 80 megawatts
(MW). The Ente Nazionale Energia Elettrica (ENEE) is the entity
responsible for generation, transmission and distribution of
electricity in Somalia. A planned hydroelectric facility on the
Jubba River has been delayed due to continued fighting and
Al-Shabaab insurgency. Studies have indicated that the Horn of
Africa- Somalia is a prime location for harnessing wind for
electricity generation.
Energy
Domestic wood, charcoal and imported petroleum provided basic
sources of energy with significant hydroelectric potential of Jubba
River remaining unexploited. Four small-scale wind turbine
generators operated in Mogadishu. Prior to civil war, eighty
state-owned oil-fired and diesel power plants provided electricity
to cities and towns. United Nations Development Programme
hydrocarbon study in 1991 indicated good potential for oil and gas
deposits in Northern Somalia.

3.5 Somalia Telecommunications
Somalia Telecommunications
Somalia Communications which includes Telecommunications,
internet, radio, print, television and postal services are mostly
run by private local Somali entrepreneurs (The Government operates
one radio and one TV station with the help of foreign expertise
i.e. Chinese, Korean, European and Latin American telecommunication
Engineers. The telecommunications firms offer Somalis affordable
mobile phones and internet services that may not be available in
some parts of the African continent.
There is no restriction in applying for a SIM card from any one of
the mobile providers in Somalia. However limitations come with the
selection of the type of the services the client prescribes. There
are post-paid and pre-paid services. A pre-paid application is not
difficult to obtain unlike post-paid.
After President Said Barre’s Government was ousted from power in
1990 many new telecommunication firms began to arrive. They began
to grab the opportunity of the missing infrastructure by providing
the much needed services. The country now offers technologically
advanced telecommunications services at competitive prices. The
above telecommunication companies also provide services to every
city, town and hamlet in Somalia. There are presently around 30
mainlines per 1,000 persons, and the local availability of
telephone lines (Tele-density) is higher than in neighboring
countries.
A French company called Dalcom is currently engaged in providing connectivity through the fiber-optic cables, which has now reached Mogadishu. The company has now registered around 15 clients and will very soon start providing internet connectivity to the southern parts of the country.
Mail Services
The postal service of Somalia has been un-functional for a long
time now. Somalia National Posts are under the Ministry of
Information, Post and Telecommunication of the Federal Government
of Somalia. Recently the Somali Federal Government announced its
intention to revive the Somali Postal Service. In mid-2013 the
minister of information posts and Telecommunication signed an
agreement with the United Arab Emirates Posts to process mail to
and from Somalia. Emirates Post's mail transit hub at Dubai
International Airport was then used to forward mail from Somalia to
various destinations.
Additionally, DHL and Australian Post are private companies that
operate in Mogadishu. DHL provides postal services; Australian Post
mostly provides sea mail parcel delivery services to Somalia
destinations.

Telecommunication Regulation
On March 22, 2012, the Somali Cabinet unanimously approved the National Communications Act, which paves the way for the establishment of a National Communications regulator in the broadcasting and telecommunications sectors. The bill was passed following consultations between government representatives and communications, academic and civil society stakeholders. According to the Ministry of Information, Post and Telecommunications, the Act is expected to offer a favorable environment for much needed foreign investment that will also support infrastructure development.

Existing Humanitarian Telecoms Systems
The Humanitarian community mostly depends on the existing
private companies for mobile telephones while at the same time
augmenting with their official communications systems particularly
VHF, HF radios and V-Sats in order to have a high speed
self-sufficient connectivity including internet.
The main humanitarian organizations that have these types of
telecommunications are, UNDP, WFP, UNICEF, WHO, UNISCO, FAO and
UNSOA.

3.6 Somalia Food Suppliers, Accommodation and Other Markets
Somalia Food Suppliers, Accommodation and Other Markets
Main Food Suppliers
Main food suppliers in the area are for two seasons but unfortunately the producing area is under control of Al-Shabaab. The country used to have all these manufacturers who are now gone. It’s very hard to give indication of this subject as there is no official food logistics office that can give details of the respective queries.
Food usually imported from Asia, is available in the local
markets. The main markets are around the port towns. The major
local food products are maize, sorghum, beans and sesame for oil
production.
Locally produced food stuffs do not meet demand but does play an
essential role especially in the remote areas. There is no local
manufacturing capacity for food stuffs. Nevertheless, there is
availability of additional operational support equipment in local
markets such as tents, water pumps, pipes, water tanks, computer
and IT equipment, office furniture. Potable water depends on a
tendering agreement for importing from outside country to the
purchaser direct.

Accommodation
There are 2 hotels in Kismayo namely the New Waamo Hotel and the Qiilmawaye Hotel. These hotels have security personnel, the hotels are not standard as well, no housing programmes going in the town at large. Although the town was liberated by the allied AMISOM forces in October 2012, security remains unstable.

Mogadishu is now under the control of an internationally
recognized government with the support of AU peacekeepers. Since
the ousting of al-Shabab in August 2011, the city has seen an
intense period of reconstruction funded by the Somali diaspora and
the international community. The city has started receiving
international commercial flights such as Turkish Airlines.
Mogadishu still remains dangerous due to high crime rates. Although
improvements are taking place there are still problems with basic
services like water, electricity, and law enforcement as well as a
lack of facilities like hotels, restaurants, etc.
The city is also prone to suicide bombings and other terrorist
attacks carried out by extremists who manage to get past the
security checkpoints around the city. Somali diaspora and other
foreign companies started copying infrastructure from abroad and
initiated certain investments in building hotels and guest houses,
the main ones are: Guest houses and camps:-
- Bancroft Camp: is run Bancroft Global a US based Security Company tasked with close training with AU troops, it rents houses or small cottages near the airport for AMISOM guests, UN & journalists, guests used to like it to the security as it’s in fortified camp and out all dangers of the city.

3.7 Somalia Waste Management and Disposal Providers
Somalia Waste Management and Disposal Providers
Urban water supply and sanitation and solid waste management is
the mandate of the respective municipalities under the Ministry of
Natural Resources. Data on water and sanitation coverage is very
limited with only 3 surveys and an additional partial inventory of
water sources across Somalia under SWALIM project having been
carried out in the recent past.
Nationally, only 23% of the population has access to sanitation
facilities with access rates of 52% in urban centers and only 6% in
rural areas (World Development Indicators 2010).
Mogadishu
In Somalia the local government or Benadir Administration
collects transports and disposes waste materials from the city.
Waste management differs in the urban areas from that of the rural
area, as there are more people in the rural area in comparison to
the city. This is done in order to minimize harm to individual’s
health as well as the environment. In Somalia there is no
distinction of the nature of waste; whether solid, liquid or any
other form; waste will be considered as waste and dumped in the
dumping sites.
In Mogadishu, apart from the local government, the Ministry of
Natural Resources and environment deals with the identification of
the dumping locations, there are two big dumping locations in
Mogadishu one situated in Medina district while the other one is
located in Karan district. These two dumping places are the
official places to dump the wastes that are collected from the
different districts of Mogadishu. The names of the two dumping
sites are:
- Qashinweyne in Karan
- Kaawo in Madina
For the last two years the Turkish Government has been assisting
the Banadir administration with waste collection. The Turkish
government is accountable for the entire process.
Recycling: No recycling is practiced in Mogadishu.
There are cleaning companies that operate in certain compounds.
They clean regular trash from such areas and dispose waste in the
respective places. Afterwards, the Turkish and Banadir
Administration take the wastes to the dumping sites.
Waste Disposal - Non Hazardous
All garbage and rubbish collected from major cities and towns are dumped in large holes dug several kilometres away from the town and lacking a separation process of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, instead all are dumped in one place which is not environment friendly. There are tankers, which collect and dump waste water outside the city.
Waste Disposal - Hazardous
Mogadishu has big industries that produce hazardous wastes that are harmful to humans, however foreign companies have been observed to be dumping hazardous waste along the ocean. There are rules and regulations that forbid dumping of used motor oil in to the sea or near the ports. Violators are heavily fined and ordered to clean up. Friendly countries and international organization have been assisting Somalia to monitor and prevent the dumping of wastes until the government gets the capability of tackling these problems.
Somaliland
Waste is mainly collected in dumping holes dug outside the towns
and cities. The local Berbera Municipality organizes and collects
the waste and has two big dumping sites outside the town.
Hargeisa has two companies named DHIS Waste Management and
Sabawanag Waste Management who collect the waste from the city and
their temporary dumping sites located within the town as shown in
the below photo. Hargeisa Municipality has four dumping sites for
burning garbage, which are about seven kilometres outside the
city.
In general Somalia does not have a recycling programme in place therefore two commonly used materials like plastic bags and bottles are dumped or sometimes burned.
