Egypt Set to Build Logistics Corridor in Tanzania

Egypt’s Minister of Transportation, Kamel Al-Wazir, plans to build a logistics corridor that will run from Tanzania’s Dar Es Salaam Port through a logistics area and dry port in Tanzania before concluding at a dry port and logistics area in Rwanda.

The project seeks to improve Egyptian exports’ access to African markets and strengthen Egyptian-African ties.

The Ministry has built a network of 27 dry ports and logistical zones around Egypt to facilitate trade movements and relieve congestion of goods and containers at seaports.

The inspection was conducted by Minister of Transportation Kamel Al-Wazir, who was joined by Egypt’s Ambassador to Rwanda, Nermin Al-Zawahiri.

The port, which covers 50,000 square metres and has an annual capacity of 50,000 equivalent container units, is considered the primary dry port in Rwanda, a landlocked African country.

This visit is in line with the Ministry of Transportation’s efforts, as directed by political leadership, to establish Egypt as a global trade and logistics hub. This entails executing a comprehensive strategy to improve connectivity between Egyptian ports and those throughout the world.
