Egypt has taken a major step forward in its logistics transformation agenda with the launch of construction for the long-awaited dry port in 10th of Ramadan City. Engineering firm EDECS and MEDLOG, the logistics arm of global shipping giant MSC, signed a partnership agreement on April 8, 2026, marking the transition from planning to execution. The facility, spanning 189,000 square metres, will integrate smart technologies to enhance efficiency and expand freight-handling capacity.
The dry port is designed to ease congestion at Egypt’s seaports by reducing container buildup and lowering handling costs. With an estimated annual capacity of 400,000 TEUs and backed by a $100 million investment supported by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the project also promotes a strategic shift from road to rail transport, reducing traffic, accidents, and emissions.
This development forms part of Egypt’s broader plan to establish eight dry ports nationwide, aligned with its 2030 strategy. The programme targets large-scale investment in port infrastructure, expansion of the national fleet, and stronger partnerships with global maritime operators.
