What the stake means for capacity

Alexandria Container and Cargo Handling says its Alexandria terminal has present throughput capacity of 500,000 TEU. The company operates terminals at Alexandria Port and El Dekheila Port, giving the ownership change a direct connection to Egypt's container-handling infrastructure.

The company was established in 1984 as Egypt's first specialized container-handling company, according to its corporate website. Its stated operating model centers on container handling, terminal equipment and related services, while the two-terminal structure provides the basis for evaluating future cargo activity.

Reporting date comes next

Ownership and operations align

The 19.33 percent holding, the EGP 13.2 billion transaction value and the 500,000 TEU terminal capacity frame the company through ownership, valuation and operating scale. The October 13, 2026, transaction is therefore more than a shareholder change: it links a strategic investor to one of Egypt's established container networks.
