Addis Ababa, February 2, 2024 (FBC) – The first-ever Ethiopian largest bulk carrier vessel, ABBAY II, docked at Djibouti Port for the first time carrying Ethiopian cargo since its registration and started sailing under the flag of Ethiopia, the Ethiopian Shipping and Logistics confirmed this morning.

ABBAY II has delivered 60,000 metric tons of soil fertilizer consisting of two different types (NPS & NPSB) from Jorf Lasfer Port, Morocco.
