“Noatum Ports” receives 9 cranes at the Safaga terminal in Egypt

Nuatum Ports, the arm of Abu Dhabi Ports Group for operating international ports, announced the arrival of three quay cranes and six rubber gantry cranes to its new multi-purpose terminal in Safaga in Egypt, noting that this major step comes ahead of the expected opening, later this year, of this major new commercial maritime port on the Red Sea in the Upper Egypt region.
A statement issued yesterday stated that the “Super Post Panamax” cranes, manufactured by Shanghai Xinhua Heavy Industry Company (ZPMC), the global leader in manufacturing industrial cranes, were successfully delivered after being shipped by sea from China, paving the way for the start of phased operational activities at “Noatum Ports – Safaga Terminal,” following the completion of major infrastructure development work.
“Noatum Ports – Safaga Terminal” enjoys a strategic location on the Red Sea coast, and it is the first international maritime terminal in the Upper Egypt region, forming a vital gateway to the region that enhances the connectivity network between Egypt, the Middle East, Africa and global shipping routes, while the terminal is equipped to handle containers, general, liquid and dry cargo and ro-ro cargo, in a way that supports regional and international trade flows by providing high levels of productivity.
