A mechanised dry-bulk loader, a RoRo ramp and a passenger ferry terminal define the working face of Safaga (EG SGA) on Egypt's Red Sea coast. The port was built primarily to ship phosphate mined at Abu Tartur, which arrives over a roughly 680 km railway; aluminium products move outbound while grain and general cargo come in. Ferries link Safaga with Saudi ports such as Duba and Jeddah, carrying both freight vehicles and pilgrims during the Hajj. A new multipurpose terminal developed by AD Ports/Noatum entered trial operation in 2026, expanding berth and yard capacity. Scheduled container-line calls are not confirmed here, so shippers needing boxed cargo generally route via Ain Sokhna or Adabiya on the Gulf of Suez. Inland reach follows the phosphate railway and roads into the Nile Valley around Qena.
