Shipping in east Africa

Ocean ahoy!
喂!大海
Losing its coast has not stopped Ethiopia developing its shipping
失去海岸綫并未使埃塞俄比亚停止其海运的发展
ETHIOPIA became landlocked in 1992, when its Red Sea coast was lost to the new state ofEritrea. It lost access to its former ports soon afterwards. Since the outbreak of a vicioustwo-year war between the two countries in 1998, the Red Sea ports of Massawa and Assabhave been off-limits to Ethiopian freight . Instead, Ethiopia has to rely on Djiboutifor imports and exports. That comes at a heavy price: it costs more to truck a containerfrom Djibouti to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia s capital, than to ship the same container from Chinato Djibouti.
1992年,厄立特里亚国新成立,从埃塞俄比亚手中取得红海海岸,使埃塞俄比亚变成了内陆国家。随后埃塞俄比亚失去了进入那些曾经属于它的港口的权力。后两国又爆发了一场持续两年的恶战,马萨瓦和阿萨布在红海岸的港口均已禁止埃塞俄比亚进行货运。相反的,埃塞俄比亚开始依赖吉布提国进行进出口的贸易。然而这一举措带来了高昂的价格:同一个货物,从吉布提运输一个集装箱到亚的斯亚贝巴的成本,远比其从中国运到吉布提要高。
