DP World, in collaboration with British International Investment (BII), has officially opened the Sokhna Logistics Park in Egypt, marking a significant milestone in the region’s logistics and trade infrastructure. The $85 million project, situated in the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE), is being developed in two phases. Phase one is now operational, while phase two is set to commence in the third quarter of 2026, expanding the park’s total area to nearly 300,000 square metres. The park is expected to create over 150 jobs in its initial phase, with employment opportunities projected to exceed 300 upon full completion. Strategically located near Sokhna Port, Suez, and the New Administrative Capital, the park benefits from tax and customs exemptions, streamlined trade procedures, and robust connectivity. Already, 90 customers have expressed interest, with several contracts finalized. The park offers integrated logistics solutions, including bonded and non-bonded services, real-time visibility, on-site customs inspections, and a dedicated customer portal. It caters to key industries such as raw materials, packaging, agriculture, electronics, construction, textiles, automotive components, and electric vehicles. Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Chairman and Group CEO of DP World, emphasized the company’s commitment to building a sustainable logistics ecosystem in Egypt, fostering seamless trade flows, job creation, and economic growth. Additionally, DP World has commenced construction of a $29 million cold storage facility in 6th of October City, enhancing Egypt’s cold chain capabilities and addressing rising demand for energy-efficient storage. Since 2008, DP World has invested over $1.3 billion in Egypt, modernizing Sokhna Port and integrating it into global supply chains. The inauguration ceremony was attended by Egypt’s Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly and UAE Ambassador Hamad Al Zaabi, underscoring the project’s regional significance.
