Tahya Misr 2 Terminal at Dekheila Port: A Strategic Step Toward Strengthening Egypt’s Position as a Regional Logistics Hub

The project to establish Tahya Misr 2 Multi-Purpose Terminal at Berth 100 in Dekheila Port is being implemented as part of the Sokhna–Alexandria Integrated Logistics Corridor, which is one of the eight integrated international logistics corridors currently being developed and will contribute to integrating Egypt into various international corridors.

1. The project includes the establishment of a world-class container terminal equipped with the latest technologies, in cooperation with one of the largest shipping lines in the world, on a 1,200-meter-long quay (out of the total 1,680-meter length of Berth 100), with a depth of 18 meters and an approximate area of 840,000 square meters. The terminal will have an annual handling capacity of up to 1.5 million TEUs, with the majority expected to be dedicated to transshipment containers, positioning Dekheila Port as one of the most important ports in the Mediterranean for this type of international trade and making it a key component of the Sokhna–Alexandria Logistics Corridor.

2. Infrastructure works have been completed, and superstructure development has commenced.

3. The project is expected to create more than 2,000 direct and indirect job opportunities.

4. The terminal will be capable of accommodating ultra-large container vessels measuring up to 400 meters in length and carrying up to 24,000 TEUs.

5. An agreement for the construction of the superstructure, as well as the management, operation, utilization, maintenance, and eventual handover of the container terminal at Berth 100, was previously signed between the Alexandria Port Authority and the global Hutchison–MSC consortium. This agreement falls within the framework of the Sokhna–Alexandria Integrated Logistics Corridor project, which aims to connect the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. The corridor is one of the eight integrated international logistics corridors being implemented by the Egyptian government, represented by the Ministry of Transport, to strengthen Egypt’s integration into various international logistics and trade networks.
