Adabiya Port is the major seaport of Adabiya, in the city of Adabiyain Egypt. Overseas routes include Middle East, Port code is EGADA.
Port Overview
Adabiya Port (UN/LOCODE: EGADA) is a seaport on the western coast of the Gulf of Suez, approximately 17 km south of Port Suez, Egypt. Its position places it within the Suez Gulf logistics corridor and makes it relevant to Red Sea, Suez Canal and Egyptian domestic cargo planning. The port is primarily associated with bulk, breakbulk and general cargo rather than an assumed dedicated container-terminal profile. The supplied port data describes nine berths with an estimated combined length of 1,840 m and reported drafts ranging from 27 to 42 ft. Principal cargoes include grain and other foodstuffs, while reported export or outbound commodities include urea, cement, rice and steel coils. Our service team can coordinate booking, cargo suitability review, inland delivery and document preparation, with final berth, acceptance and sailing details confirmed case by case.

Key Highlights
- Gulf of Suez location, around 17 km south of Port Suez, with practical relevance to Egypt’s Red Sea–Suez logistics corridor.
- Supplied port data records nine berths, an estimated 1,840 m of berth length and draft information of approximately 27–42 ft; actual vessel acceptance remains subject to port and terminal confirmation.
- Reported annual maximum capacity is 7.3 million tonnes, with approximately 800,000 tonnes of cargo and 640 vessels handled annually in the supplied dataset.
- Cargo planning is strongly influenced by grains, foodstuffs, fertilizers, cement, rice, steel coils, sugar, wheat, palm oil, scrap and livestock.
- Our team treats container availability, cargo form, berth window and inland delivery as separate checks rather than assuming standard liner-terminal conditions.
Facilities & Services
- Berthing: The supplied dataset identifies nine berths with an estimated total length of 1,840 m. Berth allocation, permissible draft and cargo-handling method must be reconfirmed for each vessel.
- Bulk and breakbulk handling: The cargo mix indicates suitability for project-related general cargo, steel coils, fertilizer, cement, agricultural commodities and other non-containerized shipments, subject to terminal acceptance.
- Containerized cargo: The platform database records three FCL service references for EGADA. This does not establish a fixed liner schedule, dedicated container yard, equipment inventory or guaranteed empty-container supply.
- Storage and inspection: Warehouse, covered-storage, open-yard, weighing and customs-inspection arrangements should be checked against the cargo type and the appointed terminal or handling agent before cargo dispatch.
- Inland connection: Road delivery is the practical planning basis for factory, warehouse and project cargo movements. Truck type, axle limits, route permits and escort requirements should be reviewed for heavy or oversized cargo.
Routes & Transit Times
- Typical planning may involve Red Sea, Gulf of Suez, Suez Canal and Mediterranean connections, depending on the vessel service, cargo form and nominated discharge or loading port. We do not assume direct service, fixed frequency or a particular carrier.
- FCL cargo may require a confirmed equipment and booking plan, while bulk and breakbulk cargo may move under vessel nomination, charter, project or multipurpose-service arrangements.
- Transit time is affected by transshipment, vessel rotation, Suez Canal passage, berth congestion, cargo inspection, weather, equipment availability and customs release. Our team provides a schedule only after receiving a carrier or vessel quotation.
- For time-critical cargo, the shipping plan should compare direct-port options with alternative Egyptian gateways or feeder arrangements after checking total inland, handling and transshipment costs.
Hinterland & Key Cargo
- Hinterland: Adabiya primarily supports the Suez Gulf and Suez-area logistics belt, with onward road distribution to Egyptian industrial, agricultural, construction and trading locations subject to route and consignee requirements.
- Inbound cargo: Grains and other foodstuffs are identified as principal cargoes; wheat, sugar and palm oil are also listed in the supplied port description.
- Outbound cargo: Urea, cement, rice and steel coils are reported export commodities, with scrap and livestock also included in the cargo profile.
- Special handling: Steel coils, fertilizer, bulk food products, liquids, livestock and scrap each require separate checks for packaging, loading method, hygiene, securing, contamination control and regulatory documentation.
Operations & Compliance
- Cut-off control: Booking cut-off, cargo cut-off, VGM deadline, documentation cut-off and terminal receiving windows can differ. Our service team confirms each deadline in writing rather than applying a generic port cut-off.
- Dangerous goods: Fertilizer, chemicals, fuels, batteries and other regulated cargo require the correct UN number, class, packing group, SDS, declaration, packaging and carrier approval. Acceptance must be obtained before truck dispatch.
- Customs and inspection: Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, permits, import or export declarations and commodity-specific certificates should be consistent. Customs examination or agricultural, food, livestock and sanitary controls may affect release.
- Inland delivery: Heavy coils, machinery, oversized units and bulk equipment require pre-checks for truck capacity, axle distribution, lifting points, road access, permits and consignee unloading capability.
Shipping Tips
- Send our team the commodity, HS code, package dimensions, gross weight, stowage requirements, loading port, preferred delivery date and consignee details before requesting a final routing.
- For steel coils and machinery, provide coil diameter, width, center of gravity, lifting points and securing photos or drawings. Confirm whether the cargo will move as FCL, breakbulk or project cargo.
- For grain, food, palm oil, sugar, livestock and other controlled commodities, prepare origin, sanitary, phytosanitary, veterinary or quality documents as applicable and verify destination-country requirements before loading.
- Keep a contingency option through another suitable Egyptian gateway or a transshipment arrangement when berth availability, container equipment or vessel nomination is not yet confirmed.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is EGADA a container-only port?
- No. The supplied cargo profile is centered on grain, foodstuffs, fertilizer, cement, rice, steel coils and other bulk or general cargo. Our team confirms container acceptance, equipment and terminal arrangements for each FCL booking.
- Can I rely on the listed draft of 27–42 ft for any vessel?
- No. These are reported port-data parameters, not a guaranteed operational draft for every berth or sailing. Vessel dimensions, tide, berth assignment, cargo intake and port approval must be checked before nomination.
- What documents are usually needed for food or agricultural cargo?
- Commercial and transport documents normally form the base set, while certificates relating to origin, quality, sanitary or phytosanitary controls may apply. The exact requirement depends on commodity, origin, destination and customs instructions.
- How early should cargo be prepared?
- Preparation should begin before the carrier or vessel cut-off is issued. The final timing depends on equipment release, cargo inspection, customs processing, truck availability and the confirmed berth or sailing window.
- Can your team arrange inland delivery from Adabiya?
- Yes. We can coordinate road delivery, cargo-specific equipment and document checks, subject to route feasibility, permits, truck availability, consignee access and final quotation.
Data Sources & Provenance
The port code, name, country, city, coordinates, location description, berth count, estimated berth length, draft range, reported capacity, vessel and cargo figures in this module are taken from the supplied EGADA port dataset. Those figures should be treated as reference data and reconfirmed with the appointed carrier, port agent, terminal or relevant Egyptian authority before a binding quotation or vessel nomination.
Operational matters including acceptance windows, berth allocation, equipment, storage, customs inspection, dangerous-goods approval, inland permits, charges and sailing schedules are time-sensitive and are not inferred from the static port record. Our service team verifies these items against the current booking and cargo instructions.
