– The Ministry of Transport has implemented an ambitious strategy based on applying the concept of sustainable development in accordance with Egypt’s Vision 2030 by providing and integrating efficient and high-quality transport networks with the purpose of fulfilling development requirements in all its economic and social dimensions, and establishing major national projects in all fields, especially in the field of enhancing the maritime transport industry, given that it is one of the most important elements of the supply chain, as the improvement process takes place in six main elements in parallel :
– Ports Enhancement Plan is commensurate with the global criterions of maritime transport, global trade, modern generations of vessels and modern equipment, as the Master Plan for all Egyptian seaports is updated based on exploiting the competitive advantage of each port, achieving integration between them and linking each port to the logistical and industrial hinterland adjacent to it, developing the current berths, and deepening the shipping lanes to receive modern generation vessels “Mega Vessels”.
– Sea ports are the principal element in the maritime transport industry, as nearly 90% of Egypt’s foreign trade is transported through seaports, which necessitates development, modernization, and raising their efficiency on a regular basis, in line with the continuous global developments and the increase in the volume of handled cargoes.
– The enhancement of seaports is not limited to the development of infrastructure only, but extends to include the information infrastructure, the automation of procedures throughout Port Authorities, and linking all operating devices within the port community in a single system to activate the single-window system to facilitate procedures for port customers linking ports to the logistical centers allover Egypt.
