Egypt's Alexandria Port Authority announced a new record for cargo throughput during the fiscal year 2025/26, processing more than 82 million tonnes of cargo. This figure marks a substantial 10% increase from the 74.8 million tonnes handled in the preceding fiscal year.
For freight forwarders and operations managers, this sustained growth at Alexandria Port suggests increasing trade volumes through this key Egyptian gateway. While increased throughput can indicate a healthy market, it also carries potential implications for port congestion, vessel turnaround times, and inland logistics. Forwarders should monitor port efficiency and potential delays, especially for shipments routed through Alexandria, and consider adjusting lead times or exploring alternative routing options if congestion becomes an issue.
