SCCT enjoys rapid rise to regional prominence
A relative newcomer to the Mediterranean hub port market, Port Said East is proving to be highly successful as a transhipment centre, winning business from other hubs. Part of the APM Terminals group, the Suez Canal Container Terminal which operates the port’s container terminal, last year moved around 1.6m teu, which was more than double the 760,000 teu throughput in 2005. Based on traffic flows in the first few months of this year, SCCT says it aims to handle at least 2m teu in the current year.
