Egypt’s SCZone to begin rolling out bunkering services within days

Egypt’s Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone) ports will begin providing bunkering services to ships within days, Youm7 reports, citing what it says are high-level sources. The services will be offered at the Ain Sokhna and Port Said ports, the sources reportedly said. The SCZone is cooperating with the Suez Canal Authority (SCA), Egypt’s Oil Ministry, and international companies to roll out the service, the sources said, without naming the companies.

Background: The SCZone first announced plans to launch the new marine services — including bunkering and catering — back in January, as part of its 2020-2050 strategy.
