It supports key sectors including raw materials, packaging, agriculture, electronics, construction materials, textiles, automotive components, and electric vehicles.

“Our commitment in Egypt goes beyond the port,” said Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Chairman and Group CEO of DP World. “We are building a sustainable, fully integrated logistics ecosystem that offers end-to-end solutions, from factory floor to customer door, driving seamless integration and trade flows that will boost exports, create jobs, and support economic growth.”

The Chairman also announced that DP World has started construction of a new cold storage facility in 6th of October City. The 16,000m² cold storage facility is being built with a $29 million investment, boosting Egypt’s cold chain capacity and meeting rising demand for energy-efficient storage. Connected to the logistics park, it is designed to strengthen the country’s cold chain capabilities and support growing demand for energy-efficient, temperature-controlled storage.

Since 2008, DP World has supported Egypt’s trade growth with over USD 1.3 billion invested to expand capacity, modernise Sokhna Port, and link it to global supply chains, while also developing a sustainable logistics ecosystem with integrated services like third-party logistics, and freight forwarding, offering customers seamless and efficient supply chain solutions.
