The London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) has issued its final ruling in a long-running dispute between global port operator DP World and Djibouti’s state-owned Port de Djibouti SA (PDSA), confirming that Djibouti’s 2018 seizure of the Doraleh Container Terminal was unlawful. However, DP World’s claims of roughly $1 billion against the government and its partner China Merchants Port Holding remain active. Existing arbitration awards totaling $685 million in favor of DP World also remain enforceable, although the government has yet to comply. While PDSA was awarded costs in this latest case, DP World maintains that the port still owes it significant sums from prior decisions. This ruling concludes the LCIA arbitration process between DP World and PDSA but does not resolve the broader conflict.
