Egypt’s El Dekheila port faces congestion as Alexandria upgrades

摘要

Ships that are scheduled to discharge solid fuels at Egypt’s El Dekheila port are facing average delays of up to 25 days, according to domestic trading sources. The port is busier due to a major project at Alexandria to turn the port into a multi-purpose terminal. The project is in full swing and should be completed within two years after work started in March this year and while underway, El Dekheila Is taking vessels that would usually discharge in Alexandria.
