Charbel: Beirut Port Night Trucks Deal Seeks to Limit Accidents
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Caretaker Interior Minister Marwan Charbel said Thursday that a deal for Beirut Port trucks to operate at night is aimed at easing traffic congestion and limiting accidents.
In remarks to An Nahar newspaper, Charbel said around 1,600 trucks are transporting goods in and out of Beirut port given the security situation in Syria.
The port has been technically transformed into the port of Lebanon and Syria, he said.
The new strategy that he reached during a meeting he chaired at the interior ministry on Tuesday aims at “guaranteeing comfortable conditions for trucks and limiting traffic accidents.”
He said lorries are involved in 30 percent of accidents in Lebanon.
The decision, which will be implemented on Monday, allowing trucks to operate from midnight to 6:30 am, is expected to later include trucks transporting cement, stone and sand as well as gasoline tankers.

samiam,
Berri gets his cut from Beirut port. Jumblatt gets his from Jiyyé or Saïda. They're all Mafiosi.
