The settlement could take up to 120 days before Ethiopia gets its own sea outlet for the first time in 20 years. Ethiopia currently uses the port in Djibouti for its export and import trade and is costing the country more than 700 million dollar year. In 1869 Assab was bought by the Rubattino Shipping Company from the local Sultan in Ethiopia, and was acquired by Italy (1882) who found the port inadequate for exploitation of its hinterlands, and came to use Assab as a coaling station. During the twentieth century Assab became Ethiopia’s main port. The Soviet Union later built an oil refinery there. During the Eritrean War of Independence and famine of the 1980s, food aid was brought to Eritrea and the Ethiopian province of Tigray through this port. The port facilities were greatly expanded in the early 1990s, with the construction of the new terminal, but the port has declined since trade with Ethiopia was terminated in 1998 as a consequence of the Eritrean-Ethiopian War. Ethiopia now hopes to modernize the port after the deal is finalized. The port is currently used as a watering hole for Eritrean camels.
