SCA’s port fee reduction decision now includes port of West Port Said

The Suez Canal Authority’s (SCA) decision to reduce transit and mooring fees at the East Port Said port last month has also been applied to the port of West Port Said, Al Mal reports. The SCA had dropped fees in a bid to draw more shipping activity to the ports, after Ocean Alliance — which includes CMA CGM Group, APL, Evergreen, and China’s COSCO Shipping — ceased operations at the East Port Said port in protest of high fees.
