2 Egypt Logistics Infrastructure
The transportation sector is one of the main drivers of economic development and growth in Egypt, linking production and consumption markets. Egypt’s unique geographic location combined with an expanding infrastructure base is enhancing the country’s position as a key global logistics hub. Egypt is currently embarking on a host of transportation projects in metros and tunnels, railways, ports, and roads.
Roads
Roads play a key role in Egypt transport network, with 94% of Egypt’s freight using roads. Egypt has climbed from the 118th in 2014 in the global road’s quality ranking to 75th in 2018.
Egypt's government spent LE 22.5 billion to build 5,000 km of new roads and renovate and develop others. 2018 saw the new roads significantly reduce the traffic accidents in Egypt. In September 2018, the Egyptian President inaugurated road projects worth LE 7 billion; six over-the-Nile bridges have been completed and another ten are still under construction.
At a cost of LE 36 billion, Egypt will increase its roads in km from 24,000 to about 29,000. Most prominently, the government has focused on highways. It is expected that all road developments within this project will be complete by 2020; the roads established as a result of this project will constitute about 20% of all roads in Egypt.
The government plans a series of road upgrades, including:
- Egypt MOT - The National Roads Project - Phase 1 - Ahmad Hamdi Tunnel Link.
- Egypt MOT - The National Roads Project - Phase 1 - Assiut/Sohag/Red Sea Road.
- Egypt MOT - The National Roads Project - Phase 1 - Cairo to Suez Road Enhancement.

Ports
The government is reported to be planning to triple trade handled by ports in Egypt and has drafted a long-term plan to raise ports capacity from 120 million tonnes to 370 million tonnes by 2030.
The Red Sea Ports Authority (RSPA) manages nine ports in the Red Sea: Portawfik, Petroleum Basin Port, Adabeya, Sukhna, Hurghada, Safaga, El-Tur, Sharm El-Sheikh and Nweiba. The RSPA is responsible for constructing and periodically maintaining the marine quays of all nine ports, and for servicing the ships using these ports.
The RSPA announced plans to construct dry bulk, container and mixed-use terminals along the nine ports managed by the authority. RSPA has planned 15 projects with an average value of US$ 60 million; and eight projects with an average value of US$ 400 million.
The most notable projects will take place in Soukhna Port, which lies south of Suez and forms part of the Suez Canal Area Development Project (SCADP)

Railways
The co-chairman of the Egyptian National Railways (ENR) announced a US$ 10 billion investment over 10 years to upgrade and maintain the antiquated railways network; with US$ 2.2 billion coming from the World Bank. The investment will upgrade the rolling stock, rail Infrastructure, as well as training and knowledge transfer. Egypt has plans to expand and upgrade its rail network. There are plans to connect Luxor and Hurghada by a railway line, and to build light rail to connect Cairo with its two main satellite cities: 6th October in the west and New Cairo in the east. However, the most notable railway project is the High-Speed Rail (HSR) from Alexandria to Aswan. HSR is a new railway alignment dedicated for the high-speed train between Alexandria and Aswan through Cairo, Assiut and Luxor. The line is planned to be built in three phases:
Phase I: Cairo - Alexandria
A pre-feasibility study has been conducted by an Italian company, and indicated the following key parameters:
- Line length: 202 km
- The running speed: 300-350km/h
- Execution duration: 5 years
- Trip time: 60 minutes non-stop
- Expected passengers: from 10 to 18 million/year
- Capex estimate: US$ 3.5 billion
Phase II: Cairo - Luxor
The development of the tender document and TOR for the feasibility study is ongoing. The basic data of the line are:
- Line length: 680 km
- The running speed: 300-350 km/h
- Execution duration: 8 years
- Expected passengers: 25 to 30 million/year
Phase III: Luxor - Aswan
The development of the tender document and TOR for the feasibility study is ongoing. The basic data of the line are:
- Line length: 210 km
- The running speed: 300 -350km/h
- Expected passengers: 25 to 30 million/year
In 2018 with the successful implementation of the country’s largest project to improve railway efficiency and infrastructure came at a cost of LE 12.5 billion. The results of the project will be presented next year, along with the purchase of 1,300 coaches at a cost of LE21 billion alongside 100 locomotives. The ministry has already completed the largest and most difficult part of investment, which is investing in infrastructure such as with a new project to electrify train signals in accordance with international standards, allowing trains to go up to 140 km/hour.
2.1 Egypt Port Assessment
Egypt’s geographical location leads an important aspect to the maritime transport sector as it overlooks both the Mediterranean and Red Sea, linked by the Suez Canal. The Suez Canal remains a huge asset as it is the main trade route between Europe and Asia, accounting for roughly 7.5% of world sea trade. Any disruption on the narrow passage could cause major delays and cause a spike in transport costs. Most importantly, the Suez Canal is one of the world’s five ‘strategic chokepoints’, defined as narrow sea passages or straits, through which the overwhelming majority of the world’s oil flows.
Egypt has 40 sea ports, of which 12 are commercial ports; six mining ports; six fishing ports; five marinas; and 10 oil-shipping ports. Among the most important ports are Alexandria, the biggest port in Egypt, and the Port of Dekheila, which is a natural extension to the Port of Alexandria.
2.1.1 Egypt Port of Alexandria

2.1.2 Egypt Port of Port Said
Port Overview
Port Said port is considered one of the most important Egyptian ports on the Mediterranean sea due to its geographical site where it is located on the eastern entrance of the Suez canal, and also on the entrance of the biggest global navigational channel (the Suez Canal) and at the mid of the biggest commercial navigational channel linking Europe with the East and it is also considered biggest crossing traffic port in the world. It is an artificial harbour, well sheltered by breakwaters.
Information on Anchorage, Pilotage, Radio frequencies of the port management and weather conditions of the Port can be found in the following document: Egypt Port Said Additional Information.docx
Suez Tunnel Project:
Project of constructing a tunnel under Port Said Suez Canal, consists of 3 tunnels for cars and trains, to achieve a direct link between the east and west of canal and supports the development strategy in Sinai. The project preliminary designs take into account the development, transport and logistics needs of the region for a period of at least twenty years, including the linkage with international roads and the integrated development scheme for axis Suez Canal.
The Suez Canal Authority announced that seven new tunnels will be dug to connect the Sinai Peninsula to the Egyptian homeland. Three tunnels will be dug in Port Said (two for cars and one for railways) and four will be dug in Ismailia (two for cars, one for railways, and one for other special uses). The tunnels will cost 4.2 billion dollars (approximately about 30 billion Egyptian pounds). The first three tunnels will cost 18 billion Egyptian pounds, Arab Contractors Company, Orascom and the armed forced are the main key players in the implementation.
Floating bridge
The Al-Nasr floating bridge to enable people to easily travel back and forth between Port Said and Port Fouad was built successfully and inaugurated in late 2016. The bridge extends from opposite banks, with the help of tugboats that push both parts until they connect to form a bridge that can be traversed by cars. It is 420 meters long. This was an important step towards the efficient movement of equipment and manpower.

2.1.20 Egypt Suez Canal
Port Overview
The Suez Canal (In Arabic: Qanat as-Suways), is an artificial sea-level waterway running north to south across the Isthmus of Suez in Egypt to connect the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. The canal separates Africa from Asia, and it provides the shortest maritime route between Europe and the lands lying around the Indian and western Pacific oceans. It is one of the world's most heavily used shipping lanes. The Suez Canal is one of the most important waterways in the world. The canal is extensively used by modern ships, as it is the fastest crossing from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean. Tolls paid by the vessels represent an important source of income for the Egyptian Government.
Railway and a sweet water canals run on the west bank parallel to the Suez Canal. The Canal runs between Port Said harbor and the Gulf of Suez, through soils which vary according to the region. At Port Said and the surrounding area, the soil is composed over thousands of years of silt and clay sedimentations deposited by the Nile waters drifted by Damietta branch. This formation extends to Kantara, 40 km to the south of Port Said, where silt mixes with sand. The central region of the Canal between Kantara and Kabret consists of fine and coarse sands, while the southern region contains dispersed layers of rocks, varying in texture from soft sand to some calcium rocks, The side gradient of the water cross section differs according to the nature of the soil, which is 4:1 in the north and 3:1 in the south.
The Suez Canal is a sea level canal and the height of water level differs slightly and the extreme tidal range is 65 cm in the north and 1.9 m in the south. The banks of the canal are protected against the wash and waves, generated by the transit of ships, by revetments of hard stones and steel sheet piles corresponding to the nature of soil in every area. On both sides of the Canal, there are mooring bollards every 125 m for the mooring of vessel in case of emergency, and kilometric sign posts helping locate the position of ships in the waterway. The navigable channel is bordered by light and reflecting buoys as navigational aids to night traffic.

Main Objectives of the New Suez Canal project:
-
Achieving a greater proportion of the duplication of the Suez Canal and increase by 50% of the length of the waterway
-
Reducing transit time to be 11 hours instead of 18 hours for the north convoy
-
Reducing waiting time for ships to be 3 hours in the worst conditions, rather than to be (8 to 11 hours), which is reflected on reducing the cost of the voyage of the ship owners and raising the degree of valuation of Suez
-
Contributing to the increased demand for the use of the Canal corridor major global navigation and increase the degree of classification
-
Increasing the capacity of the passage of ships in the channel to meet the expected growth of the volume of world trade in the future.
Contributing to the increased demand for the use of the Canal corridor major global navigation and increase the degree of classification. Increasing the capacity of the passage of ships in the channel to meet the expected growth of the volume of world trade in the future. In addition, the project aims to reduce the value of thought in alternative and competitive channels and also raises the degree of confidence in the willingness of Egypt for the successful development of the Suez Canal Area. As a sustainable development driver, the project will provide direct access to the largest number of job opportunities for young people and the creation of new communities.
Operationally, the project aims to increasing the capacity of the channel to be a record 97 ships in 2023 instead of the 49 ships in 2014, achieving direct transit without interruption for 45 vessels in both directions with the possibility of allowing for the transit vessels up to 66 feet in all parts of the channel, and increase the Suez Canal return of 259% in 2023 to be 13,226 billion dollars, compared to the current returns $ 5.3 billion resulting in a direct positive reflection on the Egyptian national income of hard currency.
