It reviewed the development phases initiated by the government since 2004, including the establishment of a multipurpose terminal with pier lengths reaching up to 680 meters and a draft of up to 17 meters, as well as the construction of the "Tahya Masr 1" terminal with pier lengths of up to 1,970 meters and a draft of 18 meters, along with a large backward area to improve port efficiency.
