<\/strong><strong>Ocean for three very large crude carriers (VLCCs)<\/strong>, according to a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2026\/1\/478.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">disclosure (pdf)<\/a>. The order comes a few days after the Omani shipping major <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/logistics\/2026\/01\/13\/asyad-shipping-is-reshaping-its-lng-fleet\/?repeat=w3tc\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">offloaded<\/a> four partially owned LNG carriers as part of a company-wide effort to renew its fleet across segments. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The details: <\/strong>The VLCCs \u2014 each with a dwt of 300k \u2014 come with energy-saving tech and a dual-fuel engine that can run on both traditional and low-emission fuels. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">Why this matters-<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Regulatory compliance is key: <\/strong>With the EU\u2019s Emission Trading System (ETS) <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hapag-lloyd.com\/en\/services-information\/news\/2025\/11\/update-on-the-european-emission-trading-system--eu-ets----full-i.html\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">moving to 100%<\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hapag-lloyd.com\/en\/services-information\/news\/2025\/11\/update-on-the-european-emission-trading-system--eu-ets----full-i.html\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">enforcement<\/a> this year, older, less-efficient vessels are all but certain to become financial liabilities for global shippers serving the European market. With delivery penciled in for 2028 and 2029, these three VLCCs would help Asyad serve the European market without incurring emissions surcharges that will plague older tonnage. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But what does the ETS entail? <\/strong>The ETS is effectively a carbon tax or a \u2018cap and trade\u2019 system that requires shipping companies to purchase allowances for 100% of emissions generated on voyages within the EU and 50% on voyages to or from the bloc. This is different from the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/transport.ec.europa.eu\/transport-modes\/maritime\/decarbonising-maritime-transport-fueleu-maritime_en\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">FuelEU Maritime<\/a>, which is more of a mandate-driven set of rules that require cutting emissions by displacing dirtier fuels.

A helpful benchmark frequently cited in industry whitepapers indicates that Egypt\u2019s logistics, warehousing, and food processing sectors are set to grow by 60% cumulatively over the next six to seven years, Suresh Sharma (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/suresh-sharma-b2834228\/?originalSubdomain=ae\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>) \u2014 regional senior manager at cold chain solutions outfit <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.danfoss.com\/en\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Danfoss<\/a> \u2014 told EnterpriseAM, citing industry figures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>For Danfoss \u2014 from a tech provider\u2019s perspective \u2014 the 60% figure does not only represent <\/strong><strong>growth<\/strong>, Sharma said. It also represents growth supported by a technological leap, but it also indicates that big investments are needed to replace or upgrade a large portion of Egypt\u2019s outdated warehouse stock. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>But Egypt\u2019s fragmented cold chain is holding back the big potential for its agricultural <\/strong><strong>industry.<\/strong> Egypt\u2019s agricultural sector \u2014 though robust and supports a strong export mandate \u2014 sees an average of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/goinggreens\/meet-sullex-the-cold-chain-developer-that-seeks-to-transform-food-manufacturing-in-egypt\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">91 kg of food wasted<\/a> per capita each year, with nearly two-thirds of food loss occurring during production, handling, processing, and distribution, while just one-third occurs at the consumer level.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The necessary cold chain infrastructure <\/strong><strong>is simply not up to par with Egypt\u2019s agricultural<\/strong> <strong>demand<\/strong>. Refrigerated warehouse capacity plummeted from 0.085 cbm per urban resident in 2018 to under 0.005 cbm in 2020 \u2014 well below the global average of 0.15 cbm at that time, according to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/12\/1068.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">one study (pdf)<\/a> commissioned by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency. Egyptian facilities average just 6.2k cbm, a mere 6-7% of the scale seen in markets like Mexico or the Netherlands. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Smaller farmers do not have proper access to cold chain facilities:<\/strong> About 90% of Egyptian agricultural producers are small-scale farmers with landholdings of less than three feddans, and \u2014 because their revenues are limited \u2014 are priced out of high-cost solutions, the study found.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Where are the gaps in the chain?<\/strong> Egypt\u2019s cold chain suffers from a disconnect between the first-mile and last-mile, where high-quality produce harvested begins to degrade almost immediately due to infrastructural gaps in the country\u2019s cold chain, Sharma told us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Pre-cooling processes are sorely lacking on farms<\/strong>, which leads to harvest losses, Sharma said. Without on-farm pre-cooling, small-scale growers must haul harvests in open-air trucks to distant facilities. This delay causes core temperatures to soar, triggering rapid dehydration and metabolic decay \u2014 ultimately driving up first-mile waste before the produce even enters the cold chain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>There is also a deficiency in regional storage \u2014 otherwise known as a geographic <\/strong><strong>concentration gap \u2014<\/strong> in Egypt\u2019s lopsided storage market, which is divided into two segments, Sharma said. The first segment consists of modern, high-end facilities that evolve in tandem with global technological advancements. The second comprises rural regions that rely on outdated cooling systems and lack foundational infrastructure. Among the notable concentration centers in Upper Egypt are the Luxor Cold Storage House and the Esna Packhouse, both of which provide accessible, low-cost facilities for small- and medium-holder farmers, the Netherlands-funded study found.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Egypt\u2019s cold chain logistics sector suffers from a data blind spot in its domestic<\/strong> <strong>transport segment<\/strong>, Sharma said. Even when products are stored correctly, domestic transport remains the most vulnerable link in Egypt\u2019s cold chain. Much of the local refrigerated fleet is aging and lacks modern telematics or real-time monitoring. Many trucks rely on on\/off diesel cooling units that are both fuel-intensive and imprecise. A recurring challenge arises when drivers deactivate cooling units to save fuel, as there is often no live data stream to alert exporters or buyers to a temperature spike.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>This lack of connectivity directly impacts market access<\/strong>, as international buyers \u2014 particularly in the EU \u2014 now demand tamper-proof temperature logs spanning from the field to the port, Sharma said. Consequently, without a connected transport network, Egyptian exporters struggle to provide the data-backed quality assurances required by premium global markets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>So what if the cold chain is fragmented? <\/strong>The inconsistent and unreliable qualities of Egypt\u2019s cold chain infrastructure can lead to a host of issues, with fragmentation being \u201cthe single greatest enemy of thermal stability,\u201d Sharma added. A fragmented chain forces products through multiple handoffs \u2014 from farmer to aggregator, wholesaler, and finally exporter. Each transfer acts as a weak link, and exposure to Egypt\u2019s peak seasonal heat of 35-45 \u00b0C causes rapid deterioration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Where should investors focus?<\/strong> Investments must prioritize production and pre-cooling, where fruits and vegetables face a staggering 55% annual loss before even reaching retail, Sharma argued. This crisis is exacerbated by a regional imbalance, as Upper Egypt produces 30% of the nation\u2019s crops but lacks the infrastructure found in Lower Egypt, leading to longer transport times in extreme heat. Addressing these early-stage losses offers the highest return on quality by halting irreversible damage at the source. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The production and pre-cooling stage is the \u201cmake-or-break\u201d point for Egyptian <\/strong><strong>agriculture<\/strong>, yet only 15-20% of the required capacity exists in rural areas, Sharma said. Most Grade-A facilities are concentrated far from farms in Cairo and Alexandria. This inefficiency costs Egypt approximately USD 1.5 bn annually. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>To address this crisis, the industry is shifting from massive, centralized warehouses<\/strong> toward decentralized, modular hubs located directly at the farm gate. One remedy \u2014 backed by Danfoss and its partners \u2014 involves solar-powered, walk-in cold rooms that can be placed directly at farm gates. This can allow smallholder farmers to pre-cool produce immediately after production, doubling or tripling its shelf life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Investment is needed in simple, low-cost, and real-time sensors<\/strong>, Sharma said.
