DP World is behind this apparently. It seems they want to have Bosaso become a transshipment hub of some sort. This is because the port will obviously be too large for Puntland's use.

that is why the UAE views its good relationship with Puntland, the autonomous area that makes up roughly a third of the country, as a major achievement that can spread to the rest of the country through investment in communications, media and infrastructure.

DP World, the Dubai-based global ports operator, is part of the UAE’s outreach programme for Somalia and it has plans to develop three ports in the country to help boost its faltering economy.

Security is a key requirement when it comes to building a port, so DP World has had to work closely with the UAE’s security and foreign policy arms.

UAE exerts utmost efforts to save Somalia, revive its economy, says Somali official

17/05/2015 10:36:02 PM

MOGADISHU, 17th May, 2015 (WAM) -- President of Somalia's semi-autonomous region of Puntland, Abdiweli Mohamed Ali, praised the huge efforts exerted by the UAE to save his country and restore its stability and security.

The Somali official affirmed that the UAE supports Somalia in the security, political and economic fields and implements vital investment projects in his country. "The UAE exerts its utmost efforts to save Somalia and works to restore Somalia's security and stability, and to revive its economy," he said.

The Voice of Somalia website quoted Ali as saying during a press conference held after his tour in three countries, including the UAE, that he met with a number of Emirati government and private sector officials and discussed with them avenues of cooperation as well as ways to support various sectors of the Government of Puntland.

He noted that the discussions focussed on the security, economic and political fields as well as the investment domain. He also added that all his meetings with the UAE officials were successful, pointing out that within the coming few weeks, a number of Emirati investors and officials will arrive to support the population in the north eastern areas of Somalia.
