Overview
Dear Colleague,
Egypt stands poised to take advantage of great advances in trade
infrastructure; expanding the Suez Canal, developing its ports and
revitalising its core infrastructure through the creation of new economic
and infrastructure developments. With tight deadlines and ambitious
vision, these projects represent the biggest infrastructural changes Egypt
has seen in modern times.
As these projects progress, it has become critical to understand the
challenges of working on these projects to best meet the demands and
complete these undertakings on time and on budget. Join us at the Egypt
Ports and Waterways Summit to discuss these developments and find
solutions to the challenges of Egypts maritime future.
Infrastructure IQ is proud to present our first ports and waterways
expansion and efficiency summit for Egyptian port and canal authorities,
operators and EPCs. This comes at an unprecedented time in Egyptian
port and canal expansion projects, with a wide range of exciting new
projects taking place across the sector.
The summit will focus on operational and construction challenges affecting
port expansion, development and efficiency for Egyptian ports, canals and
surrounding infrastructure projects to increase port and canal capacity,
handle larger ships and reduce waiting time for vessels.
Specifically, this conference will address the areas of terminal handling
efficiencies, easing port congestion through industrial land development
and containerisation as well as intermodal transport network and
hinterland and inland water transport links. The conference will also deal
with the pressing topics of canal construction, dredging operations and
the creation of industrial and logistics cities.
I look forward to welcoming you at the summit in Cairo.
Rory Keith
Conference Director
IQPC Middle East & North Africa

The summit will grapple with

three of the regions key
concerns:
q How can authorities deliver projects on
time and on budget?
q How can the regions ports expand to
achieve maximum operating efficiency
and profits?
q What shape proper onshore (including
terminal) facilities and hinterland links
should take to enable efficient inland
freight distribution and enable regional
logistics centres to flourish and to
ultimately increase port capacity?

Site Visit: 10th Ramadan Dry Port: Thursday, 11 June 2015

Ports are not just confined to the sea!
Dry ports and land ports are some of the latest tools to facilitate the intermodal transhipment of sea
cargo to inland destinations.
Featuring road and rail links to sea ports and urban areas, dry ports also feature facilities for the
storage and consolidation of goods, maintenance for road or rail cargo carriers and customs
clearance services. The location of these facilities at a dry port relieves competition for storage and
customs space at the seaport itself, allowing for more flexible use of port space.
The development of dry ports in Egypt represents one of the most exciting new developments in
trade infrastructure in Egypt.
Undertake an exclusive visit with the General Authority for Dry Ports and Land Ports to
the site of the 10th Ramadan Dry Port. Witness first hand the development of Egypts new
inland logistics facilities, intertwined with industrial processing and production facilities.

Join us on this site visit to:

v Learn exactly
what shape inland
distribution facilities
and logistics centres
will take

v Meet with the General Authority

for Land Ports and Dry Ports
and advance your business
through extensive Q&A and
networking opportunities

v Place yourself at the forefront

of Egypts logistical future
with exposure to one of the
newest and most advanced
infrastructure projects

Agenda:
08:45 Meet in hotel lobby waiting area
09:00 Depart by bus for 10th Ramadan

Dry Port site
09:45 Site tour begins

12:30 Refreshments
