TRIESTE \u2013<\/strong> Egypt\u2019s Ministry of Transport announced today that it has decided to launch a new Ro-Ro connection between the port of Trieste and the port of Damietta<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Damietta Port Authority said in advance that this is a service dedicated to refrigerated and conventional cargo between Europe and the Gulf countries, using the maritime route already opened and operated by DFDS<\/strong>, which in Trieste runs one of the Ro-Ro terminals (through Samer Seaports) between Trieste and the Egyptian port. The service is operated by Pan Marine, DFDS\u2019s local agent, with the Ro-Ro vessel Gallipoli Seaways, currently sailing towards Damietta.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cargo arriving from Italy will reach Damietta and then be transferred to the port of Safaga. This is a port located on the western coast of the Red Sea, 60 km south of Hurghada and 225 nautical miles south of the port of Suez.<\/strong>
\nFrom there, the goods will continue on to Gulf markets. Transit shipments will be exempt from the requirement to register in the ACI (Advance Cargo Information) system, a measure that reduces administrative lead times and speeds up operations.<\/p>\n

According to Egypt\u2019s Ministry of Transport, the project was made possible by coordination between the port authority, customs and logistics operators, with the aim of streamlining procedures,<\/strong> reducing customs clearance times and improving the overall efficiency of the logistics chain.<\/p>\n

The Ro-Ro connection between Trieste and Damietta was launched in November 2024<\/a> and comes against the backdrop of the current difficulties affecting some regional routes, offering an operational alternative for traffic between Europe and the Middle East.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
