    Chapter 4 Logistics-related Facilities and Operation: Land Transport THE STUDY ON MULTIMODAL TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS SYSTEM OF THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN REGION AND MASTER PLAN FINAL REPORT Chapter 4 Logistics-related Facilities and Operation: Land Transport 4.1 Introduction This chapter explores the current conditions of land transportation modes and facilities. Transport modes including roads, railways, and inland waterways in Egypt are assessed, focusing on their roles in the logistics system. Inland transport facilities including dry ports (facilities adopted primarily to decongest sea ports from containers) and to less extent, border crossing ports, are also investigated based on the data available. In order to enhance the logistics system, the role of private stakeholders and the main governmental organizations whose functions have impact on logistics are considered. Finally, the bottlenecks are identified and countermeasures are recommended to realize an efficient logistics system. 4.1.1 Current Trend of Different Transport Modes Sharing The trends and developments shaping the freight transport industry have great impact on the assigned freight volumes carried on the different inland transport modes. A trend that can be commonly observed in several countries around the world is the continuous increase in the share of road freight transport rather than other modes. Such a trend creates tremendous pressure on the road network. Japan for instance faces a situation where road freight’s share is increasing while the share of the other

  • Justice Denied: Mass Trials and the Death Penalty in Egypt
    Justice Denied: Mass trials and the death penalty in Egypt November 2015 Executive Summary • 588 people have been sentenced to death in Egypt since 1 January 2014. • 72% of these sentences were handed down for involvement in political protests. • Executions are on the rise: between 2011 and 2013, only one execution was carried out. Since 2014 to date, at least 27 people have been executed. • At least 15 mass trials have taken place since March 2014. Reprieve has confirmed that at least 588 people have been sentenced to death in Egypt in less than two years. Our findings show that 72% of these people were sentenced to death for attending pro-democracy protests. The majority of the condemned have been sentenced in patently unjust mass trials, where tens, if not hundreds, of co-defendants are tried on near identical charges. The number of executions is also increasing, with at least 27 people having been executed by hanging in the last two years, compared to only one in the preceding three years. President Sisi has promised that the rate of executions will only increase as he aims to change the law to speed up executions1. Egypt’s system of mass trials defies international standards of due process and judicial independence. As part of a brutal crackdown on political opposition, thousands of people are being arrested. Many are then subjected to brutal prison conditions and torture, with scores of people dying in detention2. Reprieve calls on the Egyptian government to stop political mass trials and death sentences. Egypt’s policy of repressing those exercising their right to freedom of expression and assembly must end, and the rule of law must be upheld.

The main objective of the Project is to contribute to the improvement of the country's wastewater treatment services in one of the major treatment plants in Cairo that has already exceeded its design capacity and to improve the sanitation service level in South of Cairo at Helwan area. The Project for the ‘Expansion and Upgrade of the Arab Abo Sa’ed (Helwan) Wastewater Treatment Plant’ in South Cairo will be implemented in line with the objective of the Egyptian Government to improve the sanitation conditions of Southern Cairo, de-pollute the Al Saff Irrigation Canal and improve the water quality in the canal to suit the agriculture purposes. This project has been identified as a top priority by the Government of Egypt (GoE). The Project will promote efficient and sustainable wastewater treatment in South Cairo and expand the reclaimed agriculture lands by upgrading Helwan Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) from secondary treatment of 550,000 m3/day to advanced treatment as well as expanding the total capacity of the plant to 800,000 m3/day (additional capacity of 250,000 m3/day).

  • 2.5.2 Characteristics of Specific Land Use Categories (1) Commercial
    THE STRATEGIC URBAN DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN STUDY FOR A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GREATER CAIRO REGION IN THE ARAB REPUBLIC OF EGYPT Final Report (Volume 2) 2.5.2 Characteristics of Specific Land Use Categories (1) Commercial area Commercial areas in GCR can be classified into three basic types: (i) the CBD; (ii) the sub-center which includes the mixed use for commercial/business and residential use; and (iii) major shopping malls such the large size commercial facilities in relatively new urban areas. The CBD is located in downtown areas, where there are mixed-use buildings that were established long ago and partly accommodate shops and stores. The major sub-centers in the main agglomeration are Shobra, Abasia, Zamalek, Heliopolis, Nasr city, Maadi in Cairo governorate and Mohandeseen, Dokki, Giza in Giza governorate. The recent trend following the mid-1990’s can been seen in the construction of shopping malls which are commercial complexes comprising a movie theater, restaurants, retail shops, and sufficient parking space or a parking building attached. These suburban shopping malls are mainly located in Nasr city, Heliopolis city, Maadi, Shobra, and Giza. Source: JICA study team Figure 2.5.3 Location of Major Commercial Areas in main agglomeration (2) Industrial area The following map shows location of concentration of industrial areas in Study area. There are seven industrial areas in NUCs, five industrial areas under governorates, and two public free zones in the study area. The number of registered factories is 13,483 with a total area of 76,297 ha. Among those registered factories, 3 % of factories can be categorized as large-scale which have an investment cost of more than LE10 million, or more than 500 employees.

The mega national projects are considered the locomotive of the sustainable development. In this respect, the New Suez Canal, which was totally setup in one year (August 2015-August 2016), with 100% national finance, had a direct and indirect impact concerning increasing the GDP on the one hand, and activating the movement of trade and aracting foreign investments on the other hand, As regards the national project of developing the Suez Canal Corridor, this project mainly aims at increasing the job opportunities and turning the Suez Canal into a global center for maritime navigation and logistic services, an industrial center and a gate for the trade exchange between the east and the west.

  • The Use of Airborne Spectrometric Data in Geological Mapping and Uranium Exploration at Qena-Quseir Shear Zone Area, Eastern Desert, Egypt by Elkhadragy A
    Global Journal of Science Frontier Research: H Environment & Earth Science Volume 16 Issue 5 Version 1.0 Year 2016 Type : Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Inc. (USA) Online ISSN: 2249-4626 & Print ISSN: 0975-5896 The use of Airborne Spectrometric Data in Geological Mapping and Uranium Exploration at Qena-Quseir Shear Zone Area, Eastern Desert, Egypt By Elkhadragy A. A., Ali M. S. Abdelaziz, Abdelmohsen G. N. Gharieb & Ahmed A. El-Husseiny Zagazig University Abstract- Qena-Quseir shear zone area is located at the central part of the Eastern Desert covering area of about 9460 Km2. This area is mainly covered by basement rocks however there are parts covered by sedimentary rocks ranging in age from Upper Cretaceous to Quaternary. In this research, airborne gamma-ray spectrometric data is used to refinement of the mapped surface geology depending on the radioelements content between lithological assemblages. The gamma-ray data is also used for studying the distribution of the radioactive elements and determination of anomalous zones of uranium. The data were collected by Aeroservice department, Western geophysical company of America along flight lines oriented in a NE-SW direction with 1.5 Km line spacing and along tie lines oriented in NW-SE direction with 10 Km line spacing. Radioelements maps shows three levels of concentrations. The high level is related to younger granite, Duwi formation and some parts of Dokhan volcanics whereas the lowest level is related to metavolcanics.
