Tied to the Ras Budran oil field discovered off Sinai in 1978, the EG RAB terminal sits on the eastern shore of the Gulf of Suez, just south of Abu Zenima. It is a dedicated crude-loading facility of Egypt's EGPC, linked to operations of the Suez Oil Company, where tankers load via a single-buoy mooring fed by underwater pipelines, with a short jetty for shallow-draught craft. The SBM accommodates vessels up to roughly 250,000 dwt, yet traffic is light at around 50 calls a year and strictly crude — no container or general cargo. Hinterland connectivity is industrial pipeline infrastructure rather than commercial freight corridors. For containers, customs and liner cargo on the Gulf of Suez, Adabiya and Sokhna, or Alexandria farther north, are the practical alternatives.
