DP World has launched operations at the Sokhna Logistics Park in Egypt's Suez Canal Economic Zone, developed in partnership with British International Investment.
The facility adds to ongoing efforts to expand the country's logistics capacity and support regional trade flows.
DP World said it is investing US$85 million to develop the Sokhna Logistics Park in two phases. Phase one is now operational, while phase two is scheduled to launch in Quarter 3 2026, expanding the total park area to nearly 300,000 square metres.
The Sokhna Logistics Park is expected to generate over 150 jobs in its initial phase, with total employment projected to exceed 300 once fully operational.
Located near Sokhna Port, Suez, and the New Administrative Capital, the site offers proximity to key trade corridors and access to tax and customs incentives under Egypt's streamlined procedures.

Business interest has been strong, with 90 customers in the pipeline and several contracts already signed.
As the first integrated logistics park in SCZONE, it provides bonded and non-bonded solutions, real-time visibility, on-site customs inspections, and a dedicated DP World customer portal. It supports key sectors including raw materials, packaging, agriculture, electronics, construction materials, textiles, automotive components, and electric vehicles.
"Our commitment in Egypt goes beyond the port," said Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, chairman and group CEO of DP World.
"We are building a sustainable, fully integrated logistics ecosystem that offers end-to-end solutions - from factory floor to customer door - driving seamless integration and trade flows that will boost exports, create jobs, and support economic growth."
Since 2008, DP World has supported Egypt's trade growth with over US$1.3 billion invested to expand capacity, modernise Sokhna Port, and link it to global supply chains, while also developing a sustainable logistics ecosystem with integrated services like third-party logistics, and freight forwarding, offering customers seamless and efficient supply chain solutions.
