Engineering and contracting group EDECS and MEDLOG, the logistics arm of MSC Group, have signed an agreement to develop a new dry port in Egypt’s 10th of Ramadan City.
The project will span approximately 189,000m² and will be delivered under a design-and-build contract covering engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services. Key works will include earthworks, paving, utilities installation and the development of core port infrastructure.
The facility is expected to enhance logistics efficiency by improving inland connectivity and supporting the movement of goods between ports and industrial zones. It forms part of Egypt’s wider strategy to expand its network of dry ports and logistics hubs.
Once operational, the facility will incorporate digital and smart transport systems designed to streamline operations, reduce costs and minimise environmental impact.
For Swiss company MEDLOG, the project represents its first dry port development in Egypt and an expansion of its logistics operations in the region.
Hussein El Dessouky, chairman of EDECS, said: “This partnership reflects a shared vision of creating world-class infrastructure that drives the region’s economic development. Together with MEDLOG, we are building a facility that will serve as a cornerstone for the region’s trade and logistics future.”
The development in 10th of Ramadan City is expected to support Egypt’s position as a regional logistics hub and strengthen its trade infrastructure.
