announcement<\/a> during his visit to the port in north Lebanon, where he was received by Ahmed Tamer \u2013 head of Port of Tripoli \u2013 and a number of senior Lebanese officials.<\/p>\nThis step reflects Egypt\u2019s willingness to keep supporting Lebanon on all levels, notably in terms of developing its ports, he said.<\/p>\n
Egypt is seeking to implement a number of projects to enhance its economic presence in Lebanon, especially in the fields of technology and expertise exchange in the city of Tripoli, the ambassador added.<\/p>\n
Port of Tripoli is Lebanon\u2019s second largest ports after the Port of Beirut, spanning over 3 million square metres, where 450 vessels \u2013 carrying commodities such as iron, wood, and grains \u2013 are passing per year.<\/p>\n
It also contains a free zone with an area of 150,000 square metres. The Port is currently undergoing expansion projects, where a new 600 metre long berth is being built for container trade, with a rear zone area of 1,200,000 square metres, according to the official website of the Lebanese Ministry of Public Works and Transport.<\/p>\n
