Master Plan and Capacity

The width of the access channel is 350m, sufficient for double-lane navigation. The harbour basin has a depth of 17m, sufficient for container vessels exceeding 8,000 TEU and bulk carries of up to 150,000 DWT.

Current facilities include a container terminal, general cargo/Ro-Ro terminal, bulk terminal and a livestock terminal. The construction of a second basin, together with jetty and liquid bulk facilities is well underway. Construction of specialist warehousing, in support of industries located outside the port, are also underway.

There are opportunities for industry to locate at the port. Two major industrial projects are already located at the port taking advantage of its facilities; a sugar refinery, together with a livestock feedlot and slaughterhouse. Other projects are also under construction.

2020: In addition to expanding its facilities, DP World Sokhna aims to attract further industries to be located at the port.

By 2020 DP World Sokhna plans to develop into an administrative and management nodal-center, acting as a hub for product transport chains.

The port will provide all the necessary and most modern infrastructure, facilities and services.
