Egypt partners with global port operators and develops eight logistics corridors to boost its maritime transshipment competitiveness.

Egypt's Transport Minister Kamel Al-Wazir announced strategic partnerships with global port operators and shipping lines to attract transshipment trade and enhance competitiveness.

The government is implementing eight logistics corridors, including the Bernice-Aswan-East Oweinat-Al Kufra-N’Djamena route, to link Red Sea and Mediterranean ports with dry ports and industrial zones.

Egypt's maritime development strategy aims to expand commercial ports to 19, increase their area to 100 million square meters, and grow the merchant fleet to 40 vessels by 2030.

Egypt's regional corridor developments, notably the Bernice-Aswan-East Oweinat-Al Kufra-N’Djamena route, signal a major push to position the country as a central gateway for North-East African regional trade.

The planned expansion of commercial ports and the target of 40 merchant vessels by 2030 will likely open significant opportunities for maritime developers, sustainable energy providers, and logistics firms.

International investors, particularly from the US, have a clear invitation to participate in infrastructure, mining, and smart transit integrations designed to lower global trade transaction costs.
