🇪🇹 Āwash, Ethiopia

Āwash is a city located in the Afar Region of Ethiopia. It has a population of approximately 17,000 people. While it is not a coastal city, it is of interest to seafarers, shipowners, and crewing companies due to its proximity to the Red Sea and the Port of Djibouti, which is a major hub for maritime trade in the region. However, it does not have any ports, shipyards, or factories producing ship parts itself.
