Located in the industrial and logistical zone of the new 6th of October City, the expansive 100-acre port is just 25 kilometers west of the existing industrial zone on the Bahariya Oasis Road, allowing easy access to the regional ring road. The port connects to the Egyptian National Railway Network (ENR), enabling quick and efficient transport to Egyptian seaports, particularly Alexandria Port and its two sectors, Alexandria and Dekheila. The October Dry Port is an excellent way to limit pressure on roads while providing a reliable and efficient way for transport. The October Dry Port stands as a breakthrough in the digital transformation of the country’s logistics and trade processes, boasting a 420,000 sqm area with a capacity of 720 thousand TEU, divided into storage areas for imports, exports, customs inspections, and buildings to house the relevant authorities. The port is also equipped with specialized labs associated with the General Organization for Export and Import Control and the Food Safety Authority. With a reefer container yard holding 132 reefer plugs, a dedicated area for out-gauge containers, and five railway tracks for loading and unloading trains, the October Dry Port project is part of the Egyptian state’s strategy to implement a number of dry ports with the purpose of expediting transportation and trade. It is in line with the plans of the Minister of Transport to launch new logistical areas and dry ports while ensuring that goods are not accumulating in the seaports, which would lead to an increase in berth productivity, reducing vessels' waiting time and having a positive impact on the cost of the products, and resulting in a competitive advantage in international markets.
