The Suez Canal Economic Zone announced on Thursday the arrival of the vessel MATHILE OLDENDORFF at East Port Said, docking at the Sky Ports multipurpose terminal inaugurated in November 2025. The ship, carrying around 165,000 tons of iron ore from Brazil, is the third-largest dry bulk vessel to call at the port since bulk cargo operations began.
At 300 metres long, 50 metres wide, and with a draft of 16.1 meters, the vessel’s entry highlights the port’s robust infrastructure and readiness to handle mega carriers. The event underscores East Port Said’s growing reputation among global shipping lines and its ability to accommodate high-capacity vessels under international operational standards.
Officials noted that the successful handling of such a massive shipment strengthens the port’s competitive position as a hub for dry bulk trade, supporting regional and international commerce. It also reflects the broader strategy of the Suez Canal Economic Zone to enhance efficiency and align its ports with global benchmarks.
