CMA CGM eyes investment in Ain Sokhna port

French shipping company CMA CGM is reportedly looking into making an undisclosed investment in the Ain Sokhna port, Al Mal quotes the head of the company’s Sudan and Egypt unit, Tariq Zaghloul, as saying. The company is studying projects related to the Ain Sokhna port to assess whether it aligns with its objective, Zaghloul said, without disclosing further details.

Tahya Misr all-purpose terminal to open in 4Q 2022: The company recently signed an agreement to operate and manage the Tahya Misr all-purpose terminal in Alexandria port, in which it has invested USD 175 mn so far, Zaghloul said.
