Ethiopian Cargo Ship Docks in Eritrea, First in 2 Decades

Wednesday, September 5, 2018

An Ethiopian commercial ship docked in an Eritrean port for the first time in two decades on Wednesday, state-affiliated Ethiopian broadcaster Fana Broadcasting said, in the latest sign of rapprochement between the two countries.

The Mekelle, due to carry 11,000 tonnes of Eritrean zinc to China, docked in Massawa, FBC said.
