AD Ports Group has continued to enhance its international portfolio in the early weeks of 2025. Most recently it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Egyptian Ministry of Industry and Transport to explore the joint development and operation of a new logistics park in Alexandria.
AD Ports will collaborate with the Holding Company for Maritime and Land Transportation (HCMLT), an affiliate of the Ministry of Transportation, with regard to a 1.1 km2 facility that isset to be one of the largest logistics hubs on the Mediterranean Sea, at Alexandria Port.
Over the last three years, AD Ports Group has entered the Egyptian market in a significant way, with the acquisition of maritime companies Transmar, TCI and Safina, as well as signing long-term concessions to develop and operate cruise terminals at the Red Sea ports of Safaga, Hurghada, Al Sokhna and Sharm El-Sheikh. Moreover, it is also going to build and operate a multipurpose port in Safaga and a ro-ro terminal in Al Sokhna.
Additionally, AD Ports has in recent weeks signed an agreement with Semurg, the owner and developer of the Sarzha Multifunctional Marine Terminal at Kuryk Port, Kazakhstan. Under the terms of this agreement, AD Ports Group will own a 51% stake and Semurg a 49% stake in a joint venture called the Sarzha Grain Terminal.
The partnership has now commenced constructing the new greenfield grain terminal in Kursk. Following the completion of phase one, this grain terminal will have the capacity to handle 570,000 tons of grain cargo a year. With the construction of phase two, the terminal’s capacity is set to expand further, reaching 1.5 million tons a year.
Sarzha Grain Terminal will see a total investment of just over US$ 50 million over the two phases, with AD Ports Group contributing around US$ 30 million.
