The Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone) has signed \u00a0an agreement worth EGP 20 billion ($1.27 billion) with the General Authority for Roads and Bridges to develop the canal zone’s Ain Sokhna port under a plan to transform it into a leading port hub in the region.<\/p>\n

The SCZone said the contract includes the implementation and supervision of construction works for building four new basins, with 12 km long berths and a depth of 18 metres and yards, according to an official press release,<\/p>\n

It also includes the establishment of terminals estimated at 5.6 million square meters and logistics areas of 5.3 km squared, linked with an internal network of railways at a length of 10 km connected to the under-establishment high-speed electric train connecting Sokhna to New Alamein, and a road network of 14 km inside the port to connect the berths and the rest of the port.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the construction and development projects will be completed within two years from now, with the completion of the fast electric train project (Ain Sokhna \/ Alexandria \/ New Alamein) as an integrated project,\u201d Yehia Zaki, the chairman of the SCZone said.<\/p>\n

He added that the development of the Sokhna port \u201cwill raise its classification and increase its competitiveness within other ports on the Red Sea, which contributes to transforming the Sokhna industrial area into a global platform for petrochemical industries and to be a regional and African logistics hub to serve the global trade movement.\u201d<\/p>\n

The upgrade of the port comes under a strategic plan to turn it into the biggest hub port on the Red Sea and the Middle East, and to serve the global trade movement between the east and the west.<\/p>\n

It also comes under presidential directives to revamp national ports and boost their efficiency to raise their competitiveness among other ports along the Red Sea and the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
