The expansion adds 955 metres of new quay and 510,000 m² of yard space, supported by 12 quay cranes, 30 electric RTGs, and more than 90 trucks. This upgrade increases capacity by 2.2 million TEUs annually, raising SCCT’s total capacity to 7 million TEUs - further strengthening Egypt’s role as a leading global trade and logistics hub.

 

 

APM Terminals has introduced electric RTGs to reduce emissions and continues to invest in battery-electric equipment, renewable energy and energy-efficient systems. These steps contribute to the company’s long-term goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2040.
 
The expansion is also creating over 1,000 employment opportunities in East Port Said.
 
SCCT is one of eight major hub terminals selected by APM Terminals to support the East–West network operated by A. P. Moller–Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd. The network aims to offer reliable schedules, competitive transit times and resilient operations with fewer port calls.
 
According to the latest Container Port Performance Index by the World Bank and S&P Global Market Intelligence, Port Said and SCCT ranked as the 3rd most efficient container port globally and 1st in the region in 2024.
