Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouli witnessed on Wednesday the signing of three agreements to provide warehousing and cargo-handling services at DP World Sokhna Logistics Park, located within the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone). Egypt continues to expand its integrated logistics infrastructure and strengthen its position as a regional hub for trade and global supply chains.
The signing ceremony was attended by Walid Gamal El-Dien, Chairman of the General Authority for the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone).
The agreements are part of the government’s broader strategy to enhance integrated logistics services across the SCZone by expanding warehousing, cargo handling, redistribution, and re-export capabilities. The initiative is expected to boost the efficiency of regional and international supply chains while capitalising on the zone’s strategic geographic location and reinforcing its role as a leading logistics gateway for the region.
The contracts were signed between DP World Sokhna Logistics Park and three companies: Premium Line Middle East & Africa, Middle East Logistics Services, and KTDA DMCC.
Under the first agreement, KTDA DMCC, the international trading arm of the Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA), will lease a 2,000-square-metre warehouse. The company oversees the marketing, distribution, and international trade of Kenyan tea across the Middle East, Europe, and Asia.
The second agreement allocates 5,300 square metres to Middle East Logistics Services, a leading distributor of consumer goods that serves as a strategic logistics platform for the regional operations of major multinational companies and global consumer brands, promoting warehousing, distribution, and supply chain operations.
The third agreement grants Premium Line Middle East & Africa 1,000 square metres of bonded warehouse space. The company, a subsidiary of Germany’s Premium-Line Systems GmbH, specialises in network infrastructure solutions, including fibre-optic and copper cabling systems serving markets across the Middle East and Africa.
Following the signing ceremony, Madbouli reaffirmed the government’s commitment to developing Egypt’s logistics sector as a key driver of economic growth. He said expanding partnerships with leading international logistics companies would enhance supply chain efficiency, improve the competitiveness of Egyptian ports, and further cement Egypt’s position as a regional and global hub for trade and logistics services.
For his part, Walid Gamal El-Dien said the agreements underscore the growing confidence of major international logistics companies in the investment climate offered by the SCZone.
He noted that the authority is continuing to develop an integrated ecosystem linking ports, industrial zones, and logistics services to provide end-to-end solutions for investors while facilitating the efficient movement of goods and international trade.
