The container terminal expansion project at Beirut Port was inaugurated under the patronage of Prime Minister Najib Mikati. The project aims to increase the yard area from 45 to 75 hectares and boost capacity from 1.2 million to 3 million containers annually within 16 to 18 months, with an investment of $100 million from CMA CGM. The goal is to improve the port’s performance, enhance its efficiency and competitiveness, and reinforce its role as a regional logistics hub in the Eastern Mediterranean. Officials confirmed that the expansion is part of a comprehensive strategy to modernize and manage the port according to global standards, focusing on infrastructure development, transparency, security, supporting the Lebanese economy, and achieving justice following the 2020 explosion. It also advances the shift toward a digital and sustainable port. They noted that the project connects the port to an integrated transportation network and aims to restore its historic role as a trading center and regional intermediary, thereby strengthening Lebanon’s economic position and restoring investor confidence.
