Beirut Port to Expand Container Terminal
Today, the groundbreaking ceremony was held for the expansion project of the container terminal at Beirut Port, aiming to increase capacity from 1.2 million to 3 million standard unit containers annually and improve the efficiency of services. The project is a $100 million investment by CMA CGM, designed to strengthen the port’s position as a major logistics hub in the Eastern Mediterranean and to reaffirm its historical role as a trading center between the East and West. The expansion includes increasing the yard area to approximately 75 hectares and enhancing readiness to compete, with a focus on modernizing infrastructure and improving port management according to the highest international standards, while ensuring that the expansion is aligned with national justice and addressing the impacts of the 2020 explosion. This step is part of a comprehensive strategy to develop the transportation network by connecting the port with land routes and railways, with the goal of boosting Lebanon’s economic position and rebuilding trust in its institutions.
