MEDLOG to Signs Agreement with Egypt to Build Dry Port and Logistics Centre
MEDLOG, the logistics arm of the world’s largest shipping line MSC, emerged as the winner of the global tender issued by the Authority, beating out four international consortiums.
MEDLOG and Egypt’s General Authority for Land and Dry Ports (GALDP) have signed a PPP contract for the financing, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of a 250-acre dry port and logistics zone in the 10th of Ramadan City.
The project, part of Egypt’s broader plan to transform into a regional transport and logistics hub, aligns with President Abdel Fattah El Sisi’s vision to boost Egypt’s role in transit trade.
The site will be divided into two zones: 130 acres for the dry port and 120 acres for the logistics area. It aims to reduce congestion at sea ports, improve trade movement, and lower transport costs, while enhancing supply chain efficiency.
The development will link industrial, agricultural, and mining areas with major sea ports on the Red Sea and Mediterranean through improved road and rail networks.
