SCZone Reopens Abbas Wharf After EGP 1.8 Billion Upgrade

The Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone) has reopened Abbas Wharf at West Port Said following a EGP 1.8 billion development project.

Announced by SCZone Chairman Waleid Gamal El-Dien, the revamped terminal is set to support key projects already in motion at the port, including new terminals for dry bulk grain and liquid cargo. The expansion is designed to improve port handling efficiency and attract further investment to the economic zone.

The development falls within the state’s Vision 2030 framework, which positions maritime infrastructure as a core driver of industrial growth and trade competitiveness. Gamal El-Dien noted that the upgraded wharf will not only improve logistics operations in West Port Said but also support long-term plans to expand food security and industrial storage capacity.

The upgrade is part of Egypt’s broader strategy to modernise logistics and strengthen port infrastructure across the country. Work on the terminal also reflects ongoing efforts to localise supply chains and create jobs, as the SCZone continues to position itself as a hub for regional trade and transit.
