Egypt opens PPP process for new dry port

The Egyptian government has opened a bidding process to design, finance, build, equip, operate, maintain and utilise a new dry port, which is expected to handle a large portion of Alexandria’s import containers.

The facility, which is located 20 km southwest of 6^th of October city just outside Cairo, will have a direct rail connection to the Greater Port of Alexandria (GPA) and the Port of El Dekheila.

Interested companies or consortia can submit pre-qualification applications to compete to enter into a 30-year public-private partnership (PPP) contract with the Egyptian government.
