Hassan Allam-led consortium frontrunner in Sixth of October dry port tender

A Hassan Allam-Concord-PSA consortium appears to be the frontrunner in the Sixth of October dry port tender, having reportedly submitted a better technical offer than the Elsewedy Electric-led consortium, an unnamed source told the local press. Elsewedy partnered with Schenker Egypt and 3A International to bid on the project. These consortiums are the only two competing for the tender. The winning bid is expected to be announced this month. The 100-feddan project will comprise cargo zones, customs clearance offices, and multipurpose storage facilities linked to key seaports, and will be developed under a public-private partnership framework.
