Damietta Port has launched a new transit service for refrigerated and dry cargo arriving from Europe via a Ro-Ro shipping line connecting the port with Port of Trieste. The move marks a strategic step in Egypt’s efforts to position itself as a regional hub for transport, logistics, and transit trade. Authorities confirmed that all operational and customs procedures were carried out efficiently, supported by close coordination between the Damietta Port Authority, Pan Marine Group—operator of the Ro-Ro line—the Central Administration of Damietta Customs, and other relevant entities. The launch reflects ongoing efforts by Damietta Port to enhance operational efficiency through digital transformation and upgraded logistics services. It also reinforces Egypt’s role as a secure and efficient corridor for international trade, particularly for transit cargo heading to Gulf markets.
