The Suez Canal Economic Zone and Suez Steel have agreed to develop berths 4 and 5 at Adabiya into a dry-bulk terminal — a roughly USD 120 million project targeting up to 5 million tonnes of dry bulk a year — underlining what As Suways (Port Suez) really is: a bulk and multipurpose port at the Suez Canal's southern mouth, not a box hub. The complex splits into a petroleum basin on the west and Port Tewfik and Port Ibrahim to the east, supplemented by the satellite port of Adabiya (capacity around 7.93 million tonnes) and an offshore terminal. It handles dry and liquid bulk, grain, minerals and cement, plus RoRo, conventional breakbulk and passengers, with a long tradition of pilgrim and ferry traffic. Container liner traffic in the Suez area instead moves through Sokhna (DP World) on the Red Sea and Port Said at the canal's northern end (SCCT/APM Terminals). Inland links by road and rail reach greater Cairo and Upper Egypt. Shippers with containers should address Sokhna or Port Said, while Port Suez suits bulk, cement, RoRo and project cargo.
