Arab nations lead Egypt's transit flow
Damietta Port has experienced a notable increase in indirect transit movement via the Roro route line between March and May 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. This growth is attributed to the Egyptian government's facilitated procedures, which eased crossing procedures, leading to a significant increase in container volumes (111.6%) and transported weights (175%). Additionally, transit service revenues surged by 238.07%, with earnings in US dollars rising by 210.50%. Gulf countries and Iraq benefited mainly, with the UAE leading, accounting for over 42.8% of the transported weight. These developments confirm Damietta Port's role as a major logistics hub connecting Egypt and Europe with the Gulf and Iraq, with substantial increases in cargo movement and facilitating procedures that boosted revenues and highlighted the strategic importance of the Roro route as a critical logistical corridor.
