  • Total Cargo Handeled in Egyptian Ports
    Invest in Egypt Logistics & Transportation Invest In Egypt The Global Crossroad Invest in Logistics and Transportation 1 Invest in Egypt Logistics & Transportation QUICK FACTS Throughput at the Suez Canal will remain healthy in 2015, following a strong year in 2014. There was a 6.75% year-on-year rise in revenues to USD5.46bn in 2014,compared to USD5.11bn recorded in 2013, as the waterway benefited from delays to the opening of the Panama Canal expansion. The country's location on the Mediterranean and Red Seas affords it access to major East-West shipping routes, and its Suez Canal-based ports feature as stops on a number of these routes. Egypt's Suez Canal ensures that the country is a major player in the global maritime sphere. The interim government has received substantial financial assistance for Saudi Arabia, UAE and Kuwait - indicating regional support. The Suez Canal enjoyed strong throughput growth in 2014. The Egyptian infrastructure sector is picking up, which will boost dry bulk and project cargo volumes at Egypt's ports and on its roads. 2 Invest in Egypt Logistics & Transportation SOCIOECONOMIC IMPORTANCE A new navigation channel could increase throughput at East Port Said. Rising Suez Canal charges should see a further growth in revenues. The Suez Canal is benefiting from delays to the Panama Canal expansion, attracting new services. There is major investment of USD8.5bn being channeled into expanding the Suez Canal. Low wages in global terms are advantages for foreign investors, particularly for those wishing to use Egypt as a base for export-oriented manufacturing Air freight handled at Cairo International Airport is set to grow by 3.0% in 2015 to reach 399,780 tones.

  • In Duplication to Function of Ports and Result in Excess-Investment for Ports. Moreover, Egyptian Ports Will Be Less Competitive in Attracting Foreign Operators
    THE STUDY ON MULTIMODAL TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS SYSTEM OF THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN REGION AND MASTER PLAN FINAL REPORT 5.3 Conclusions and Recommendations 5.3.1 Port Management and Operation in Egypt (1) Enforcement of Control Power of Maritime Transport Sector Each Port Authority is proceeding with their own development projects based on their own plans, which are not harmonized with each other. The Maritime Transport Sector should play a role in coordinating and controlling all development projects in Egyptian ports. However, the sector is not performing this role at present. The situation results in duplication to function of ports and result in excess-investment for ports. Moreover, Egyptian Ports will be less competitive in attracting foreign operators. Thus, The JICA Study Team recommends enforcing the authority of the Maritime Transport Sector to coordinate and control the whole port sector development. In addition, a Master Plan Study for all Egyptian container ports, including Alexandria Port, Dekheila Port, Damietta Port, Port Said Port (West), Port Said Port (East) and Sokhna Port, is needed immediately, because container terminal development projects are in progress without sufficient central coordination. (2) Combination of Port Authority and Container Handling Company The JICA Study Team recommends combining the Port Authorities under the Ministry of Transport and the Government Container Handling Companies under the Ministry of Investment to be one organization for each port. In that case, prompt action would be possible as happens at Sokhna Port, because the decision maker is one organization. Moreover, there is a possibility that this combination would produce a simple tariff, because one organization would collect port charges and container handling charges from shipping agents.

Accordingly, the port was transformed from a monopolistic market to a competitive market which inherently forces the ports to compete to offer some profitable services for instant the transhipment of container trade and that carries the burdens of additional services for improvement at ports so that they can compete. The rapid growth of seaborne trade, container traffic keeps growing parallel with the increasing of ships size; therefore it became not economically feasible to ships to load and discharge in multiple ports. Hence, some of the ports began to grow until it became what is known as hub ports. This led to the development of new types of special container transhipment port, where the transhipment define as the act of shipping goods to an intermediate destination prior to reaching their ultimate end-use. Transhipment is a common practice with logistic benefits, but can be used to illegitimately to disguise the country of origin or intent of the Goods ("How to Import into the US," 2007).
