Η Ελληνική
κυβέρνηση υπέγραψε συμφωνία με την
κυβέρνηση της Αιθιοπίας στον Ναυτιλιακό
τομέα για την απασχόληση προσωπικού
από την Αιθιοπία σε Ελληνικά πλοία.
Η Αιθιοπία
είναι μια χώρα η οποία, μετά την ανεξαρτησία
που απόκτησε η Ερυθραία, μετατράπηκε σε
landlocked country, εξυπηρετείται από τον λιμένα
του Τζιμπουτί.
Η απώλεια
της Ασμάρα έπαιξε καταλυτικό ρόλο στην
επιβράδυνση της οικονομικής ανάπτυξης
της χώρας, αποκλείοντας την Αιθιοπία
από την Ερυθρά Θάλασσα και το εμπόριο
μέσω αυτής.
Η πλειονότητα
των πλοίων που επισκέπτονται τον λιμένα
του Τζιμπουτί μεταφέρουν προϊόντα για
την Αιθιοπία και είναι χαρακτηριστικά
τα τεράστια κονβόυ φορτηγών που ξεκινούν
από το Τζιμπουτί για το ταξίδι των 1000
χλμ περίπου προς την Αντίς Αμπέμπα.
Είναι
χαρακτηριστική η αδυναμία του λιμένος
Τζιμπουτί να εξυπηρετήσει τον όγκο των
φορτίων και αυτό γίνεται αισθητό από
τους χρόνους παραμονής στο αγκυροβόλιο
και εκφόρτωσης οι οποίοι αγγίζουν σε
κάποιες περιπτώσεις τις 40-50 ημέρες.
Εξαιρείται
ο τερματικός εμπορευματοκιβωτίων ό
οποίος λειτουργεί με σύγχρονες
προδιαγραφές και οι χρόνοι εξυπηρέτησης
είναι οι αναμενόμενοι.
Η Αιθιοπία
διαθέτει αριθμό εμπορικών πλοίων τα
οποία είναι βαμμένα στα αυτό χρώμα,
(φωτογραφία
από το αρχείο μας), τα οποία φυσικά δεν
μπορούν να καλύψουν σε καμία περίπτωση
της ανάγκες της χώρας.
