· To develop a string of seaports, Egypt has signed a contract with the Roads and Bridges Authority to develop the Port of Sokhna, which will entail an investment of 20 billion pounds
· The general location of the port has been planned to make it the largest pivotal port in the Red Sea
· The port will service the trade exchange movement between South and East Asia, South and West Europe and North Africa
This was revealed by Head of Suez Canal Economic Zone Engineer Yehia Zaki. The plan to develop Ain Sukhna port and all construction and development works will be implemented in two years to coincide with the completion of the high-speed electric train project (Ain Sukhna/Alexandria/New Alamein). This will make the project an integrated one.
The general location of the port has been planned to make it the largest pivotal port in the Red Sea. The port will service the trade exchange movement between South and East Asia, South and West Europe and North Africa. It is implemented by a group of Egyptian companies from the largest national contracting companies under the supervision of one of the largest Egyptian consultants.
The port of Ain Sukhna is one of the most important ports of the economic zone.
The authority is racing against time to develop affiliated ports, especially those works that take place in the ports of Sokhna, Arish and West Port Said.
