The talks, which also include a consortium of other Chinese maritime giants, have yet to land on a final price tag or financing structure. The official suggested they could wrap up as early as the first half of the new year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Talks include the modernization and expansion of the Damietta Shipyard \u2014 which <\/strong><strong>currently produces some 60% of Egypt\u2019s fishing vessels<\/strong> \u2014 alongside state-owned shipyards in Port Said and Port Tawfik. A Chinese delegation has already completed site visits, and a preliminary agreement is reportedly close to being finalized, we were told.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We see this as a play for vertical integration <\/strong>and a natural play on the recent expansion of the domestic steel industry. By localizing the steel-heavy shipbuilding industry with a partner as large as CSSC (the world\u2019s largest shipbuilder), Egypt could move from exporting raw marine-grade steel to using it in high-value manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The move also supports the Sisi administration\u2019s bid to see the national merchant fleet <\/strong><strong>grow to 150 vessels by 2030<\/strong>, up from its <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/7f3ff882-4e19-45d3-b074-b1670e8fec7f\/the-government-is-pushing-for-maritime-amendments-that-could-have-a-big-effect-on-the-sector\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">previous 36-vessel target<\/a>.
