Project to improve logistics and to increase trade competitiveness in Egypt
Funded by the EBRD Infrastructure Project Preparation Facility
As a country with a growing population and economy, Egypt needs urgent investment in its infrastructure capacity to alleviate the pressure on existing ports, shipment points and trade centres. New facilities are required to reduce congestion, allow for a better distribution of goods and let trade flow freely.
A key element in this chain are dry ports, inland intermodal terminals directly connected by road or rail to a seaport, operating as centres for the shipment of sea cargo to inland destinations. Egypt’s latest transport master plan calls for the development of nine dry port and logistics centres throughout the country under public-private partnership (PPP) structures.
