MOGADISHU Istanbul Bazaar 2013 [U/C]

An Ottoman-style market (Bedesten) in Somalia

Economic vibrancy in Africa is not limited to investments for production and manufacturing. Turkish businessmen rely on different projects to revive the overall economy in the continent. One such project is the construction of a trade center that Mustafa Erkan, a businessman from İstanbul is in the middle of preparing in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. The facility, which will be named the İstanbul Bazaar, will host wholesalers of furniture, carpet and dry foods. The bazaar, also known as a bedesten, will likely make a $500 million contribution to Turkish exports every year.

Noting that they have been doing business in South Africa for many years, Erkan says they are familiar with the continent. Erkan, recalling that Somalia is one of the best places to do business, stresses that the sources are scarce in the country and that it is not possible to find most products. Erkan further said: “It is almost as though there is no toothpick or needle in this country. This is also the case for the construction industry. The cement factory is idle. Iron is brought from other countries. The products imported from China are of low quality. In addition, the goods imported from Dubai are expensive.” Security is the greatest problem in Somalia. For this reason, the investors are hesitant to start business in the country. The İstanbul Bazaar offers a reliable and secure environment for investors.

Noting that the Bazaar will serve the interests of both Somali and Turkish businessmen, Erkan says: “No VAT tax is levied on our products in places like Mogadishu. There isn’t a significant amount of transport cost because we are wholesalers. The profit margin is not so big. But because we are not retailers, we will not have to deal with the complaints by the local people.”

So far, $15 million have been invested in the İstanbul Bazaar. In addition to contributing to the development of the Somali economy, the bazaar, which will open its doors in 2013, will also improve the overall employment in the country. Erkam Meriç who was assigned as general manager of the bazaar says that they will follow the traditional code of business inherited from the Ottoman times and they would like to revive the ethical code of the time.

Details about the second phase will be announced after the construction of the first phase of the bazaar. Erkan says that further details can be obtained at www.istafbazaar.com

Turkish Built Hospital in Mogadishu [Completed]















Amongst the number of ways Turkey has tried to assist Somalia at its most difficult time, Turkey also built a mega hospital that has saved the lives of thousands and is also the biggest hospital in Central Africa.

Turkey has perhaps made the greatest contribution to the situation in Somalia in health and medical services. In a country where surgeries were virtually impossible and lives were lost in even the smallest of operations, now there is a brand new palatial-like hospital built by Turkey's Health Ministry.

It took 169 workers nine months to complete what was not only the first building built in the Somalian capital in the past 20 years, but is also the sole building to have an elevator. There are currently two hospitals in operation in Somalia; one is the Şifa Hospital established by Medicalpark in Mogadishu a year and a-year-and-a-half ago and the other is the field hospital, also opened by the Ministry of Health. When the field hospital was set up it was so dangerous in Somalia that the doctors had to stay in tents in the hospital garden. An operating room was set up on the bottom floor and security guards would guard the entrance. With the completion of the new hospital scheduled for July, the field hospital will soon be shut down. Before Turkish doctors began arriving to Somalia, it was impossible to conduct surgeries in the nation because there was no anesthesia nor anyone who knew how to administer them. Now, with the arrival of Turkish doctors, Somalian doctors are being trained in all of the areas in which they were lacking.

All of the equipment for the hospitals was brought to Somalia from Turkey. Doctors Worldwide sends teams of doctors regularly. The most recent team to fly out include Hacettepe University Dr. Serdar Nazif Nasır, who is also known for being the first doctor to perform a face transplant in Turkey. Dr. Nasır and his team will be performing surgeries all week in order to give the gift of life numerous patents injured by blasts, fires or born with birth defects. This new hospital, which will have four operating rooms, will treat 2,000 Somalians a day once it opens in July.

SIMATECH $70 million container port expansion [Proposed] Mogadishu




















Simatech plans to expand Mogadishu port with an investment of US$ 70 Million

“Simatech is fully registered in UAE and in Singapore, with partners being a Singaporean and a UAE national. It is one of the largest feedering players in Asia with more than 1.5 million TEU lifted in 2012.

With its head office based in Dubai since 1992 and key regional offices in Singapore and Mumbai, Simatech focuses on the East-West trade, providing feeder services to ports in the Middle East, India Subcontinent, Asia and East Africa. Company’s fleet under operation grew from 17 vessels in 2008 to 36 vessels today.

After a concession contract with Mogadishu port, Simatech launched a first container service toMogadishu through Jebel Ali in January 2013, which links Mogadishu and Somalia through the regional gateway with the entire world. This new container service of Simatech has come as a great relief to the importers and exporters of Somalia as they are able to transport their cargo safely and speedily. It is a significant step that will support the further development of the Somalian economy, which in the longer term will address the problem of piracy by providing a livelihood for Somalians.

Sima Marine is a local entity registered in Mogadishu with partnership of Somali nationals. The set up provides professional liner agency and logistics services to top shipping lines, NGOs and aid agencies. This office hires, trains and promote local talent through experienced and skilled trainers from overseas with the help of local partners. It is the first shipping agency in Mogadishu with dedicated liner agency software integrated with terminal and shipping lines software to meet all needs of fast paced shipping.

Mogadishu Port Container Terminal (MPCT) is a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the Somalian Government engaged in port operations and at present operating the Mogadishu Port. It has been only six months since the contract to exclusively handle containers in the Mogadishu Port was awarded to MPCT, but in this short period MPCT has grown into a productive and praised port operator in the region. Thanks to the Somalian Government and its people the Mogadishu Port is once again recognized as the key center for international trade in the country.

With its well established reputation of efficiency, reliability and professionalism in dealing with its customers, MPCT has a bright future ahead and will continue to participate at the forefront of the regional growth.

Future plans of Simatech at port of Mogadishu include port expansion with an investment of US$ 70 Million and it will be initiated on the approval of Somali Government. Simatech also plans to set up a merchant marine academy in Mogadishu to train local youth as skilled seafarers through qualified trainers from abroad in order to create employment opportunity in worldwide shipping companies.
