Edecs joins Medlog’s Tenth of Ramadan dry port buildout

Medlog’s inland project takes shape: MSC subsidiary Medlog and construction firm Edecs signed an EPC contract for a new dry port construction package in Tenth of Ramadan City. The scope covers a 189k sqm design-and-build contract covering earthworks, paving, road marking, installation of essential utilities, and other critical infrastructure.

The project’s been in the works for a while: The Tenth of Ramadan dry port is being developed alongside a logistics center under a 30-year public-private partnership and spans 250 feddans split between a dry port and logistics zone. The setup includes rail freight infrastructure, container yards, storage, and customs buildings, with road and rail links meant to connect the site to Alexandria, Dekheila, and Abu Qir ports and pull more cargo handling inland.

The service comes with a capacity of up to 2.5k TEUs, adding another link to the Red Sea-westbound trade network.
