It appears as though talks are back on between the Port of Alexandria and China Harbour over a multi-purpose platform — the Egypt Economic Development Conference project that has been killed and resurrected more times than we can count.

Last we heard, the Transport Ministry was considering launching a new tender for the multi-purpose facility after negotiations with China Harbour reached an impasse.
