A consortium comprising Egytrans NOSCO and Nafith International will invest more than EGP 1bn to develop and manage a digital truck management system at Sokhna Port, the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE) said. The project, which has been granted a 25-year usufruct license, involves the construction of advanced parking yards and an integrated redirection system over a 167,000-square-metre area. SCZONE Chairman Waleed Gamal El-Dien said the development of the truck management system is a fundamental pillar for facilitating cargo movement and increasing the capacity of Sokhna Port. Gamal El-Dien added that the project aligns with efforts to transform SCZONE-affiliated ports into “smart ports” following international standards. Sokhna Port, which has attracted several major international operators, set a Guinness World Record in December as the deepest man-made basin on land, with a depth of 19 metres.
