This is a tragedy in terms of lost opportunities for South Africa. Imagine if they had spent the last 10 years creating a well-functioning efficient port infrastructure that was reliable. In that case the current round-Africa diversions could have led to a sharp increase in portcalls on the continent’s southern tip - improving connectivity (and hence business opportunities for local importers and exporters), creating more business at the ports in handling vessels, and for the container lines it would have been a no-brainer to mitigate the extremely high ETS emissions costs now being measured from last port in Asia to first port in EU by making calls servicing South Africa along the way. Sure, they would not have the infrastructure to handle 24,000TEU vessels, but not all diverted vessels are of the mammoth size. But as the saying goes, that is spilt milk under the bridge… or something. https://lnkd.in/dYR4MYDf

Strategic Development of New El Max Port to Boost Egypt's Maritime Trade Shipping Arabia, June 23, 2024 — The Alexandria Port Authority is actively enhancing Egypt's maritime infrastructure with the construction of the new El Max Port, strategically positioned between the Alexandria and Dekheila ports. This initiative is part of a broader effort to augment Egypt's capabilities in global shipping and logistics, accommodating an increasing volume of maritime traffic and larger vessels. El Max Port, with dock lengths and storage areas both extending over 3.5 kilometers, represents a significant upgrade in the nation’s port facilities with an estimated investment of 30 billion Egyptian pounds. This expansion is designed to meet the latest standards in maritime operations, ensuring the port can handle the newest ship types and compete effectively in the international shipping industry. The port aims to become a central hub, enhancing logistical links between Alexandria and Dekheila ports and increasing transit trade through the Mediterranean. The development of El Max Port also includes a commitment to sustainable and green port initiatives, which involves aligning investment with environmental standards to minimize the ecological impact. This includes the construction of a new wave barrier to manage climate-induced geomarine fluctuations and reduce port closures. The comprehensive development plan for El Max Port encompasses the construction of several specialized terminals, 22 docks, and 6 harbors dedicated to the fishing community, significantly boosting the port’s operational capacity. The docks, designed to reach depths of up to 18 meters, will support the expected annual economic output ranging from 40 to 45 million Egyptian pounds. Overall, El Max Port is set to enhance Egypt's strategic importance as a maritime hub, supporting increased maritime traffic and fostering economic growth. This project reflects Egypt's ambitious vision to strengthen its position as a leading center for transport, logistics, and transit trade in the region.

When we refer to the Namibian Ports (Port of Walvis Bay and Lüderitz) as ‘’multi-purpose ports’’, it means the ports cater to a variety of industries and accommodate diverse types of cargo and vessels. The term "multi-purpose" implies versatility and adaptability to handle different cargo throughput and serving the needs of various industries. Sharing plans with the ports is crucial for industry players because it allows the ports to anticipate and prepare for upcoming demands and requirements. By being informed about the industry's future intentions, the ports can strategically invest in infrastructure, technology, and resources ahead of time. This proactive approach enables the ports to align their services with the evolving needs of the industries they serve. Investing ahead of demand is beneficial for both the ports and the industry players. The ports can optimize their operations, enhance efficiency, and provide tailored services, leading to a more seamless and effective collaboration. For industry players, this means having a reliable and responsive port infrastructure that aligns with their evolving needs, ultimately contributing to the success of their projects. For many projects, ports play pivotal roles, influencing the overall success or failure of the projects. Efficient and well-prepared ports can significantly impact the supply chain, reduce delays, and contribute to the overall competitiveness of industries. Therefore, a collaborative and communicative relationship between industry players and ports is essential to ensure that the ports can adequately meet the demands of the industries they serve, ultimately fostering mutual success. #BusinessDevelopment #Ports #Planing #Investment

Government Projects $68.5 Billion in Suez Canal Revenues by 2030 Shipping Arabia, July 14, 2024 — The Egyptian government has set an ambitious target to achieve $68.5 billion in revenues from the Suez Canal by 2030, a substantial increase from the expected $23.2 billion in revenues during the period from 2024 to 2026. According to the government’s work program, obtained by "Al-Borsa," the number of ships passing through the Suez Canal is projected to rise significantly. From 2024 to 2026, approximately 62,700 ships are expected to transit the canal, with this number anticipated to surge to 166,700 ships between 2024 and 2030. The government’s plan forecasts that by 2027, the number of ships transiting the Suez Canal will increase to 26,000 annually, generating expected revenues of about $10.5 billion. This growth is driven by the transformation of the Suez Canal shipping route into a green transport and shipping corridor and establishing the canal as a regional hub for supplying ships with green energy. The plan includes boosting the capacity of East Port Said Port to handle around 4.8 million containers by the 2026-2027 period. Similarly, Sokhna Port's capacity for transit containers is expected to increase to about 1.6 million TEUs during the same timeframe. A key component of this strategy is to expand strategic partnerships with global shipping companies, which collectively control over 70% of the world's container ship fleet. Additionally, the government plans to develop seven integrated international logistics corridors to connect production areas with seaports using fast and secure transportation methods. The ambitious plan reflects the Egyptian government's commitment to enhancing the Suez Canal's capacity and infrastructure to meet the increasing demands of global maritime trade. By transforming the canal into a green shipping corridor and a key regional energy hub, Egypt aims to solidify its position as a pivotal player in international logistics and maritime operations.

The Port Terminal Multipurpose Limited (PTML), Nigeria’s largest multipurpose roll-on-roll-off (RORO) terminal, said it is perfecting plans to receive the largest Container-RORO ship ever to visit the sub-region next week (Nov. 30). The mega ship, named MV GREAT LAGOS, owned by the Grimaldi Group and launched in April this year, is a marvel of modern engineering and environmental consciousness, stretching 250 metres in length with a beam of 38 metres and deadweight of over 45,000 tonnes. The ship has the capacity to transport 4.7 kilometres of rolling freight, 2,500 car equivalent units, and 2,000 twenty-foot equivalent units. MV GREAT LAGOS is the second of the G5-class of ships recently launched by the Grimaldi Group and named after Nigeria’s commercial capital, which it has served for many decades. “The vessel sets a new benchmark in the shipping industry,” Ascanio Russo, managing director of PTML, said.
