DP World adds more cranes at Egyptian port

Dubai’s DP World has doubled the number of gantry cranes at its container port in Sokhna at the Red Sea, reported Xinhua. DP World said two new STS (ship-to-shore) gantry cranes were installed in Sokhna to boost the productivity of the container facility.

The two cranes, manufactured by Zhenhua Port Machinery Company (ZPMC) of China, were brought to port by the vessel Zhen-Hua 18. Sokhna is the closest port to Cairo. According to DP World, most of the cargo from the east destined for Egypt is imported via Sokhna.
