The company announced the opening of the first two silos as part of a project dedicated to exporting bulk cement, with a storage capacity of up to 20,000 tons per silo. It plans to increase export capacity to between 3.5 and 4 million tons annually, thereby enhancing Egyptian producers' access to international markets. Additionally, the company has made significant advances in iron and steel trading, increasing volumes from 42,500 tons in the first half of 2025 to 693,000 tons—a growth rate exceeding 1,500%. Its market share has expanded from 0.57% to 15%. This growth has been supported by substantial investments in modern ships and activities related to scrap trading, with high unloading capacities. These expansions align with national strategies for developing infrastructure and linking ports to industrial zones. They also reinforce Sky Ports’ transformation into a major logistical hub dependent on advanced operational systems and supported by the Suez Canal Economic Zone. Moreover, studies are underway for a project involving the dry Port of Borg El Arab and the logistics zone, aimed at leveraging Italian expertise and strengthening the connection between sea and land ports.
