Mr. Urs Moll said: “DP World Sokhna is pleased with its long-standing partnership with SCZONE in various projects, especially in Sokhna Port and its terminals and berths.

"We seek to provide a distinguished service, especially in light of SCZONE’s development work at the port, which allowed it to receive various types and generations of ships such as Ro-Ro ships, dry and liquid bulk ships, general cargo, and even cruise ships.

"Through the planned logistic park project, DP will provide another type of logistics service required to support supply chains and global trade. We are also proud of the continued support of SCZONE in overcoming any obstacles before they arise.

"We emphasize the concerted efforts with SCZONE to complete the first phase of the project with investments of $ 50 million by the end of 2024.”
