Egypt’s Sokhna Port receives first crane for TCI’s new terminal

Sokhna’s new general-cargo terminal gets its first crane: Ain Sokhna Port has received the Chipolbrok Sun, a vessel carrying a 150-tonne crane for Trans Cargo International’s (TCI) new general-cargo and dry-bulk terminal, according to a statement on X. Three more 150-tonne cranes are due this month as the operator begins fitting out the terminal for operations.

The delivery brings TCI’s Sokhna project closer to launch. The first phase centers on a 676-meter berth and a roughly 70k-sqm yard in Basin 6, with the terminal set to grow to a 335k-sqm footprint once fully operational by end-2027.
