Kaab TV reported on 26 August 2026 that Puntland President Said Abdullahi Deni opened a newly completed cargo warehouse at Garacad port, toured the recently completed Berth C, and inspected construction on Berth D, which the report says remains under development. The visit took place on a Sunday, according to the same report.
What the source records
Kaab TV reports that the warehouse was built for the storage and handling of goods arriving through the port. Berth C, the report says, was added to accommodate growing maritime traffic, and Berth D is under development. President Deni also visited newly constructed offices intended to house Puntland government ministries and agencies responsible for port operations, and received briefings from port management, port committee members and engineers overseeing the expansion project.
What it means on site
A handover ceremony fixes a date. For a contractor or supplier working near or inside the port, it is a reference point to check against the drawings and the inspection record: which warehouse bay, which office block, which berth. Ask port management for the as-built set and the completion certificate for each item before you price work that ties into them. Berth D remains under construction according to the report, so access routes and laydown areas around it can be expected to change. Confirm the current site rules with port management.
What the source does not establish
Berth dimensions, storage capacity, costs and completion dates are not stated. The report does not say who designed, built or supervised the warehouse, Berth C or the offices, or what berat depth and cargo-handling equipment they now carry. It gives no date for the completion of Berth D, which it describes as under development, and it does not describe operating performance. The report is dated 26 August 2026, and the source was checked on 21 September 2026. A commissioning certificate, as-built drawings or a port authority statement would confirm the present state.
What to do next
Ask Garacad Port management for the as-built drawings and completion certificate covering the warehouse, Berth C and the new offices, and for the current construction programme and access arrangements for Berth D. Ask the port engineer which documents a contractor must hold before working inside the port area.
