Fertiliser, grain, citrus and offshore petroleum supplies have long moved through Abu Qir (UN/LOCODE EGAKI), a Mediterranean port some 30 km northeast of Alexandria in Egypt. The harbour handles urea and liquid ammonia from the adjacent fertiliser industry, grain via a permanently moored silo vessel, metals, foodstuffs and project cargo, alongside a naval basin and a small fishing harbour. Its newest asset is a Hutchison Ports container terminal (HPH Abu Qir) with a 1,200 m quay and 18 m draught – the first Egyptian terminal to run equipment control over a 4G network, with Evergreen Marine holding a stake. Further deep-water berths of up to 22 m draught are under construction, part of a build-out expected to add substantial container capacity to Egypt's Mediterranean coast in the coming years. Road and rail links connect the port to Alexandria and the Nile Delta hinterland. Shippers needing established liner services or larger volumes still route through neighbouring Alexandria and El Dekheila.
