Building Egypt’s Logistics Future: EDECS and MEDLOG Launch Landmark Dry Port Project

Cairo, Egypt, 8 April 2026:

 EDECS, a premier regional engineering and contracting group, and MEDLOG, a world leader in logistics and part of the MSC Group, today held a signing ceremony marking the launch of a new dry port project, in the 10^th of Ramadan City. This landmark infrastructure project is poised to transform Egypt’s logistics landscape by expanding Egypt’s freight capacity and strengthening its trade infrastructure. The collaboration reflects the commitment of both companies to advancing Egypt’s trade, transportation and economic development.

Spanning 189,000 square meters, the dry port will be delivered under a design-and-build contract, covering engineering, procurement, and construction services (EPC). Key works include earthworks, paving, road marking, installation of essential utilities, and the development of critical port infrastructure. Once completed, the facility will modernize the regional logistics network, improve operational efficiency, and support sustainable growth.

The 10th of Ramadan Dry Port will play a pivotal role in advancing Egypt’s logistics efficiency, resilience, and sustainability and is aligned with the Ministry of Transport’s vision to establish a modern network of dry ports and logistics zones across the country. For MEDLOG, as the first project of this kind in Egypt, the collaboration marks a significant milestone in the expansion of its global logistics expertise to the region.

This advanced facility will integrate digital solutions, smart transport systems, and cutting-edge technologies to ensure seamless trade, reduce costs and risks, and minimize environmental impact. Bringing together global logistics expertise and established delivery capabilities, the project represents a strong alignment between international standards and proven execution. It further reflects EDECS’ commitment to delivering transformative, future-ready infrastructure that strengthens Egypt’s position as a regional trade and logistics hub.

Eng. Hussein El Dessouky, Chairman of EDECS, said: “This partnership reflects a shared vision of creating world-class infrastructure that drives the region’s economic development. Together with MEDLOG, we are building a facility that will serve as a cornerstone for the region’s trade and logistics future.”

The collaboration underscores the combined strengths of EDECS and MEDLOG in delivering modern, efficient, and sustainable logistics infrastructure, positioning Egypt as a strategic hub for regional trade and commerce.
