Egypt, AD Ports sign MoU to develop Alexandria logistics zone

Egypt’s Holding Company for Maritime and Land Transport signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on Thursday with Abu Dhabi Ports Group to develop a logistics zone at Alexandria Port.

Transport Minister Kamel El-Wazir said the project is part of a broader plan to establish 32 dry ports and logistics zones, transforming Egypt into a regional hub for logistics and transit trade.

The first phase will cover 273 acres, expanding to 600 acres in phase two. The zone will include storage, customs operations, simple manufacturing, packaging, and the newly-adopted container manufacturing industry. It will also feature quality control measures and connections to the high-speed electric railway for nationwide goods transport.

The zone is a key element of Sokhna-Alexandria Logistics Corridor, advancing Egypt’s goal to become a regional logistics and industrial hub.
