Jalur kereta api Addis Ababa–Jibuti adalah jalur kereta api internasional dengan sepur standar yang menghubungkan Addis Ababa dengan pelabuhan Jibuti di Teluk Aden,[1] menyediakan akses jalur kereta api menuju laut bagi daratan terkurung Ethiopia. Lebih dari 95% dari perdagangan Etiopia melalui Jibuti, mencapai 70% dari aktivitas di pelabuhan Jibuti.[2][3] Jalur kereta api dengan sepur standar ini menggantikan Jalur Kereta Api Ethio-Jibuti yang diabaikan, sebuah jalur kereta api dengan lebar rel 1000 mm (metre gauge railway) yang dibangun oleh Prancis antara tahun 1894 dan 1917.[4]
Jalur baru dibangun antara 2011 dan 2016 oleh China Railway Group dan China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation. Pembiayaan untuk jalur baru disediakan oleh Exim Bank of China, China Development Bank, dan Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.[5] Total US$4 miliar diinvestasikan untuk jalur kereta api ini.[6]
Layanan percobaan dimulai pada Oktober 2016, dan layanan reguler diharapkan dimulai pada tahun 2017.[7] Seksi Ethiopia diresmikan pada tanggal 5 Oktober 2016, dan seksi Jibuti diresmikan pada tanggal 10 Januari 2017.[8] Jalur kereta api ini telah mengurangi waktu transit kargo dari 3 hari melalui jalan raya menjadi 12 jam melalui kereta api.[9]
Rute
[sunting | sunting sumber]Sebagian besar panjang relnya berjalan sejajar dengan Jalur Kereta Api Ethio-Jibuti dengan lebar rel 1000 mm (metre gauge) yang diabaikan.[4] Namun, jalur kereta api sepur standar ini dibangun pada hak pembangunan jalan yang baru dan lebih lurus yang memungkinkannya untuk mencapai kecepatan yang jauh lebih tinggi. Stasiun-stasiun baru telah dibangun di luar pusat kota, dan stasiun lama dinonaktifkan.[10][11]
Jalur ini memiliki trek ganda untuk 115 km pertama dari Sebeta ke Adama, dan trek tunggal dari Adama menuju lautan.[12]
Sejarah
[sunting | sunting sumber]Pada tahun 2011, Ethiopian Railway Corporation memberikan kontrak kepada dua BUMN Tiongkok untuk pembangunan sebuah jalur kereta api sepur standar baru dari Addis Ababa ke perbatasan Jibuti. Sepanjang 320 km membentang dari Sebeta ke Mieso diberikan kepada China Railway Group,[13] dan seksi 339 km dari Mieso ke perbatasan Jibuti diberikan kepada China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation.[14] Pada tahun 2012, Jibuti memilih China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation untuk menyelesaikan 100 km terakhir ke pelabuhan Jibuti.[15]
Perpanjangan lanjutan ke Yaman
[sunting | sunting sumber]Ada rencana perpanjangan lanjutan jalur kereta api Addis Ababa-Jibuti ke Yaman melewati jembatan Jibuti-Yaman sepanjang 32 km (20 mi) tetapi dibatalkan pasca meletusnya Perang Saudara Yaman 2014 dan serangan pemberontak Houthi di Laut Merah sejak pertengahan Oktober 2023.[16]

But he said that if the old train ceases to operate, it will be a great loss for Ethiopia and for Dire Dawa, the commercial town in northeastern Ethiopia where the main train station and workshops were headquartered. The new station is slated to be built just outside Dire Dawa, a town renowned for its French atmosphere. "Dire Dawa will suffer," said Josef, who is now the director of the French cultural centre in the city. The train station -- known locally as "la gare" -- and the workshops still stand, unused for years.
