DP World Sokhna handled a record rupture of 285,000 TEU in Q1 2025, the highest quarterly volume in almost two decades of operating the port.
The figure repeats a 26% increase in planned volumes, which underlines the growing strategic role of the port in the facilitation of the region and supports the economic growth of Egypt. An important promoter of growth by refrigerated containers exports, since the country solidifies as one of the main exhibitors of the world’s citrus.
Since carrying out operations in 2008, DP World has invested more than $ 1.3 billion in the modernization of the port of Sokhna to handle some of the world’s Largel cargo ships, which provides commercial routes without interruptions for global trade. This includes digital infrastructure to train local and international businesses to manage their load efficiently and on demand.
Avnash Iyer, CEO of COO and interim, Egypt, DP World said: “This level of growth clearly demonstrates the growing importance of Ain Sokhna Port as a logistics center, not only for Egypt, but for the broader regeneration sector, but the network of investments of Egypta’s cargo offices and the market of the Sokhna Dinina.
The ability of the Sokhna port to handle growing volumes, particularly in refrigerated load, increases the growing role of the port in facilitating the trade of perishables of Egypt. With the facilities of the latest generation cold chain and simplified logistics, the port is well positioned to support the country’s agricultural sector and guarantee the efficient movement of goods sensitive to temperature to international markets.
As DP World continues to expand its footprint in Egypt, the port of Sokhna remains in the heart of an integrated offer of the end -to -end supply chain for local companies that seek to connect with global commercial flows.
