Mogadishu (Kaab TV) – Operations at the Port of Bosaso completely came to a halt this morning after DP World issued an urgent order affecting all port workers, resulting in no activity taking place at the port today.
Multiple sources we contacted confirmed that DP World ordered all port employees this morning to purchase special uniforms that will be required for work from now on. The cost of this uniform is nearly 100 US dollars. It is worth noting that port laborers (dockworkers) cannot wear helmets, as they are manual carriers who transport goods on their heads.
DP World also issued another new decision today. Previously, port workers used work ID cards that were renewed every six months. However, they were informed today that the card validity has been changed to one year, with a fee of 14 US dollars. This issue had previously sparked protests by port workers opposing the decision.
Meanwhile, there are 14 workers who have already been notified that they will be completely dismissed from their jobs starting at the beginning of the new year, 2026.
