APM Terminals inaugurated the expansion of Suez Canal Container Terminal (SCCT), in Egypt, adding 955 meters of new quay and 510,000 square meters of yard space with the support of 12 Ship-to-Shore cranes, 30 electric RTGs and more than 90 trucks. This improvement increased the capacity by 2.2 million annual TEUs, raising the total figure to 7 million TEUs.
“We are extremely pleased to celebrate our commitment to Egypt, our partnerships and the dedicated team that provides an excellent service every day at this terminal. SCCT offers first-class operations and is a key piece of our global network,” said Lars Mikael Jensen, Head of Hubs and Ocean Collaboration at APM Terminals.
Keld Mosgaard Christensen, General Manager of SCCT, expressed that “we extend our sincere gratitude to His Excellency President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, as well as to the distinguished ministers, authorities and partners whose support has made this achievement possible. This expansion will further strengthen Egypt’s and the region’s trade opportunities, and with today’s celebration, we reaffirm our vision and commitment to build the future of global trade together.”
SCCT is one of the eight core terminals of APM Terminals that make up the East-West network of AP Moller – Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd. The investments in the terminal aim to boost fast transshipment and enable advanced digital planning tools.
