Z§5€~3‘FlI%3[35©‘F ABSTRACT The main objective of this work is to suggest the most feasible proposals for developing the Egyptians maritime education system to aChieVeComplete agreement with the regulations and requirements of the International Convention on Standards of Training Certification and Watchkeeping of Seafarers, 1978. The work commences by illustrating the importance of Egypt's international ?'situation, and describing the nature of Egyptian coasts. A classification of Egyptian ports, thier capacities and capabilities is given, in,addition to a review of the various obsticles facing the ideal utilisation of these ports. Moreover, a demonstration of the Higher Council of Ports that supervises and co-ordinates the plans of all org­ anisations, administrations and authorities that are responsible for ports‘ operation and development is included. The second chapter is concerned with the Egyptian fleet and foreign trade. A review is carried out of the reasons that lead to the fleet's lack of technological development. Analysis is held of the fleet's present situation and the availabilities for the future development. This analysis catigorises the different types of the modern ships joining the Egyptian fleet according to which recommendations should be established for the regulations of maritime education in order to create suitably trained crews to suit the advanced ships‘ technology. A forecast of Egypt's foreigntrade till year 2000 is included. The third chapter deals with the importance attached to the problem of maritime education and training with particular reference to developing countries. It briefly demonstrates some of the education systems in 4 developed countries chosen in such a way to cover the various internationally applied education andtraining systems. The forth chapter discusses the hystorical background of maritime education in Egypt as well as the governmental regulations for certification of seafarers. The circomstances of the Arab Maritime Transport Acad­ emy establishment are recorded. A review of its various activities and capabilities provided. The chapter ends with proposals for achieving optimum educational objectives. Finally, ; an approach is provided for the concept of conjuncting theoretical education to practical sea training, in addition to a proposal for a guided sea training programme that suits the Egyptian's maritime education syste m .

    The London School of Economics and Political Science Hikāyāt Sha‛b – Stories of Peoplehood Nasserism, Popular Politics and Songs in Egypt 1956-1973 Alia Mossallam 200810290 A thesis submitted to the Department of Government of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, November 2012 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 99,397 words (excluding abstract, table of contents, acknowledgments, bibliography and appendices). Statement of use of third party for editorial help I confirm that parts of my thesis were copy edited for conventions of language, spelling and grammar by Naira Antoun. 2 Abstract This study explores the popular politics behind the main milestones that shape Nasserist Egypt. The decade leading up to the 1952 revolution was one characterized with a heightened state of popular mobilisation, much of which the Free Officers’ movement capitalized upon. Thus, in focusing on three of the Revolution’s main milestones; the resistance to the tripartite aggression on Port Said (1956), the building of the Aswan High Dam (1960- 1971), and the popular warfare against Israel in Suez (1967-1973), I shed light on the popular struggles behind the events.

  • 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.

  • River Transport and Reshaping Africa Ashraf Ghazy, Damietta, Egypt
    PORT PLANNING, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION River transport and reshaping Africa Ashraf Ghazy, Damietta, Egypt As Governments across Africa recognise the value of inland waterways, African rivers can be used to great effect by integrating transport network across the continent. River privilege While road and rail networks require constant maintenance and upgrading, navigable rivers and lakes call for far less investment and become of greater use when integrated with road and rail links. Various forms of cargo, particularly containerised commodities, can be easily moved using multimodal transport. This often requires Inland Container Depots (ICDs) to be developed at the nexus of road, rail and water transport networks, which means investment. A good example is Ather Ennaby river port, Cairo which is Figure 3. Egypt relies heavily on The River Nile. Nile water represents 97 per currently being developed to help boost Egypt’s container cent of the national water resources. The country’s annual portion of the Nile water is 68 milliards m3. throughput to 350 million by 2020. The Ballore ICD at Kampala, which serves the rest of Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Southern Sudan and Eastern DR Congo, is another good example. development schemes for villages across the Nile as it forges its Governments usually focus on other high profile, although passage through them. often less effective projects. This results, however, in a lack of From a macroeconomic perspective, the idea is expected to investment resources to initiate river waterway rehabilitation and invigorate multimodal transport in the area as a whole. This begin the catalyst for barge traffic. translates into direct benefits to maritime and air transport links.

(May 2012) Veronica Marie Morriss, B.A., The Pennsylvania State University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Shelley Wachsmann In ancient Egypt, the Nile was both a lifeline and a highway. In addition to its crucial role for agriculture and water resources, the river united an area nearly five hundred miles in length. It was an avenue for asserting imperial authority over the vast expanse of the Nile valley. River transport along the inland waterways was also an integral aspect of daily life and was employed by virtually every class of society; the king and his officials had ships for commuting, as did the landowner for shipping grain, and the ‘marsh men’ who lived in the northernmost regions of the Nile Delta.
