Egyptian Minister of Transport Kamel Al-Wazir and Ambassador of Italy to Cairo Michele Quaroni signed an agreement for the international transport of goods by towed land vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers, using roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) line between the ports of Damietta and Trieste. The RoRo line is scheduled to be operational during the first half of 2024. Al-Wazir previously unveiled that a logistics zone will be established behind Damietta Port as part of implementing a comprehensive plan to make Egypt a center for global carpentry and logistics.
Ro-Ro is a type of ship that allows products to roll on and off the vessel, as opposed to being lifted on board using cranes. Self-propelled products, such as cars and tractors, roll on and off the vessel on their wheels.
It is thought to be an extension of China’s initiative to shorten sea routes from China and transfer goods to onward transport as soon as possible, Chinese firms have been buying up port space in Egypt for this purpose as Egypt has a free trade agreement with the EU as well as AfCFTA (African Continental Free Trade Agreement), EAEU (Eurasian Economic Union) and Arab countries.
