THE Chinese-built 4,367-TEU Zhong Gu Ji Lin was the first to dock at the Abu Qir Marine Port Container Terminal in Alexandria that is open for business, reports Xinhua.
Chinese cargo ship loaded with 2,000 TEU docked at a completed section of the terminal, marking the official opening.
The terminal's construction has been carried out by China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) since March 2021.
Its first phase was delivered in October 2023, said the head of CHEC Egypt Duan Kun, adding the construction is now in the second phase.
The overall construction includes port, dredging, reclamation, channel improvement, revetment and supporting facilities building.
The project has so far created more than 2,000 jobs for the local labour market. Once fully built, the terminal can handle two million TEU per year.
