Star Shine Shipping Logistics Unveils First Phase of New Eco-Friendly Logistics Center Shipping Arabia, November 21, 2024 — Star Shine Shipping Logistics has officially launched the first phase of its new green logistics center located in the Merghem Industrial Zone, Alexandria. The center, which covers an area of 10,000 square meters, represents a significant investment totaling 50 million EGP, underscoring the company's commitment to sustainable logistics solutions. Hossam El-Deeb, Chairman of Star Shine, announced the completion of all necessary preparations for the center, which began operation earlier this month. This initial phase includes facilities for the repair and maintenance of refrigerated containers, widely known as reefers, alongside offering ample storage space for both containers and general cargo. These services cater to a variety of clients, including companies, shipping lines, and agencies. Building on this momentum, El-Deeb shared insights into the upcoming second phase of the logistics center, which will extend over an additional 15,000 square meters. Plans for this expansion are well underway, with financial studies completed and contracting for the required equipment set to commence shortly. Further emphasizing the company’s growth, El-Deeb highlighted Star Shine's significant achievement in the 2023 fiscal year as Egypt's top container transporter. In partnership with the German shipping line Hapag Lloyd, the company successfully transported 11,000 containers. Star Shine is also looking to augment its container fleet by acquiring new units from various shipping lines to support this expansion. Operating across Egypt’s three largest container terminals—Alexandria Containers, China Shipping Containers, and Tahya Misr Containers—Star Shine not only offers comprehensive container transportation services by road but also extends its operations to rail, facilitating efficient container movement between Egyptian ports. This strategic expansion of the logistics center is poised to further enhance Star Shine's capacity to support the growing demands of Egypt’s maritime and logistics sectors.

King Abdulaziz Port Addresses Operational Challenges Amid Increased Import Volumes Shipping Arabia, July 10, 2024 — King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam is currently facing operational interruptions due to fully occupied storage yards, a situation caused by delays from some importers in retrieving their shipments promptly. In response, the Saudi Ports Authority 'Mawani' is urging car agents to accelerate the clearance procedures for newly arrived vehicles to ensure seamless business operations and prevent further logistical setbacks. The Saudi Ports Authority 'Mawani' has clarified that new vehicles meet all necessary customs regulations and are ready for immediate clearance upon arrival, emphasizing the need for efficient processing to maintain operational continuity at the port.

Additionally, the port houses a comprehensive ship repair facility equipped with two floating docks capable of servicing vessels up to 215 meters. Covering 19 square kilometers with three terminals, King Abdulaziz Port has an annual capacity of five million tons.

Port Said Chamber of Shipping Advocates for Enhanced Port Development in Meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Shipping Arabia, August 13, 2024 — Adel El-Lamie, Chairman of the Port Said Chamber of Shipping, met with General Kamel El-Wazir, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport and Industry, to advocate for strategic enhancements to Port Said’s maritime facilities. The discussion focused on upgrading the infrastructure to elevate the governorate's ports, particularly those on the western side, to match their strategic importance. The future projects at East Port Said Port were also reviewed. El-Lamie emphasized the need for improvements in several vital roads to better support the movement to and from the ports. The roads discussed include the "Port Said - Ismailia" road (Al-Mo'ahada Road), "Port Said - Damietta" road, and the June 30 Road, which are crucial for efficient port connectivity. A significant point of contention discussed was the proposed cement silo project at West Port Said quay. El-Lamie expressed strong opposition to the project, citing potential health hazards due to its proximity to residential areas and the risk it poses to the wheat stored in newly constructed silos, which were built at a considerable investment exceeding one billion Egyptian pounds. Responding to the concerns, General El-Wazir acknowledged the deputies' apprehensions and consented to reevaluate the project’s viability. This meeting underscores a pivotal movement towards enhancing Port Said’s port facilities and infrastructure, aligning with the broader objectives to optimize Egypt’s maritime commerce capabilities.

Salalah Port Achieves Strong Cargo Handling Growth in Q1 Despite Challenges Shipping Arabia, May 13, 2024 — Salalah Port’s General Cargo Terminal has recorded a notable increase in cargo volume in the first quarter of 2024, handling 5.763 million tons, up 14% from 5.039 million tons in the same period last year. This growth, reported by Salalah Port Services, is driven primarily by rising export demands for bulk dry materials such as gypsum and limestone. Despite disruptions in the Red Sea and ongoing terminal upgrades impacting container operations, the port's total revenue reached 17.9 million Omani Rials. The General Cargo Terminal exhibited resilience, achieving substantial growth amidst rising insurance costs due to increased geopolitical risks in the region. This performance underscores the terminal’s crucial role in global supply chains, particularly to Asian markets, with expectations of continued robust performance through the year. However, the container terminal operations have been adversely affected, handling 878,000 TEUs, down from 1,056,000 TEUs in the previous year, a decline of 17%. The ongoing regional disturbances and necessary capacity restrictions during upgrades have contributed significantly to this downturn. The port has noted adjustments by some clients in their maritime routes, opting for longer journeys around the Cape of Good Hope or temporarily halting certain services. Looking ahead, Salalah Port anticipates a continued decline in container throughput by 20-25% for 2024, predominantly due to decreased transshipment volumes. The port is actively implementing strategies to mitigate these impacts and maintain its competitive edge in the global shipping market. As part of its strategic upgrades, the port received the first set of four new ship-to-shore (STS) cranes during the quarter, reinforcing its commitment to bolstering operational efficiency and technological advancements. These investments are crucial for minimizing operational risks and enhancing service delivery. Financially, the port reported a consolidated profit before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of 3.6 million Omani Rials and a net profit of 846,000 Omani Rials for the quarter, reflecting a slight decrease from the previous year's 1.169 million Omani Rials. These figures highlight the ongoing challenges and the port's efforts to navigate through a complex global landscape while continuing to drive economic growth and maintain high operational standards.
