The project is jointly invested in and operated by COSCO SHIPPING Ports, Hutchison Ports, and CMA Terminals. Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Transport and Industry Kamel Al-Wazir, and Walid Gamal El-Din, Chairman of the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone), attended the ceremony alongside shareholders’ representatives including Zhu Tao, Chairman of COSCO SHIPPING Ports, marking the milestone.   In Xinde Maritime News’ view, while a port opening is a nodal event, its deeper significance lies elsewhere: amid persistent global supply-chain volatility and recurring route uncertainty, COSCO SHIPPING Ports is working to deliver more predictable service expectations—and more resilient end-to-end solutions—through a more solid global hub layout, more advanced smart-green capabilities, and a port-logistics network closer to industrial demand. RSCT is presented as one of the latest and more representative moves under that strategic logic along the Red Sea corridor. Sokhna: A Strategic Gateway on a World-Class Corridor Sokhna Port is one of Egypt’s premier port zones. It sits at the southern entrance of the Suez Canal, around 120 km east of Cairo, adjacent to the Suez Northwest Economic Zone (SCZone), and at a key junction where the main East-West trade corridor overlaps with Egypt’s industrial belt. RSCT involves total investment of about USD 375 million
