SGTD calls Doraleh "the most advanced container terminal in East Africa" — a claim made only by the operator itself, with no independent ranking to back it up.
what does this mean?
The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went.

Djibouti's Doraleh Container Terminal, run by the state-owned operator SGTD, upgraded its terminal operating system to Navis N4 in 2018 and later expanded its Wi-Fi network across the yard, causeway and railway station to support real-time crane control, gate management and container tracking — infrastructure SGTD markets as the most advanced in East Africa.
