Safeguarding the East African Hub | Jiangsu BSW Optoelectronics Wins Bid for Djibouti New Port Traffic Signal Project, Illuminating Smart Port Safety Corridors

Apr 23, 2026

Recently, Jiangsu BSW Optoelectronics Group has successfully won the bid for the Traffic Signal & Intelligent Control Supporting Project of Djibouti New Port (Doralé Multi-Purpose Port). We provide high-quality and highly reliable intelligent traffic signal solutions for this key logistics hub in East Africa, supporting the infrastructure upgrade and cross-border logistics efficiency of Djibouti Port with China’s intelligent manufacturing.

Strategically located at the gateway of the Red Sea and Indian Ocean, Djibouti is the core logistics node of the Horn of Africa. As a major deep-water multi-purpose port in East Africa, the new port shoulders the important task of intermodal transport of containers, bulk cargo, and energy supplies. With heavy traffic, intensive operations, and 24/7 uninterrupted service, it imposes extremely high requirements on traffic signal equipment for stability, high temperature resistance, sandstorm resistance, waterproofing and anti-corrosion.

Targeting the extreme operating environment of the port, BSW Optoelectronics has customized an integrated intelligent traffic signal system with the following strengths:

High-reliability industrial-grade quality: Thickened galvanized anti-corrosion housing, IP66 high protection level, resistant to high temperature, sandstorms, salt and fog, suitable for all-weather intensive operation.
High-brightness energy-saving optical system: High-brightness LED light source with strong daytime visibility and no glare at night, energy-saving and long service life of more than 5 years.
Intelligent linkage control: Supporting port traffic scheduling, hazardous chemicals lane control, container vehicle priority, and seamless connection with the port dispatching system to improve traffic efficiency and safety.
One-stop full-process delivery: Closed-loop services covering solution design, manufacturing, logistics customs clearance, on-site installation and commissioning, and operation and maintenance support to ensure rapid project implementation and stable operation.

The project will fully cover key nodes such as access passages, container yard intersections, hazardous chemicals operation areas and port highways of the new port, effectively standardizing port traffic order, reducing operational safety risks, improving cargo transit efficiency, and helping Djibouti build a safe, efficient and intelligent model of a modern international port.
