Port Overview

Port Tewfik (UN/LOCODE: EGPTE), also known as part of the Port Suez area, is a seaport in Suez, Egypt, positioned at the southern boundary and entrance area of the Suez Canal. The port belongs to the wider Suez port complex, which includes multiple harbours and marine-service facilities. Its logistics value is closely connected with the Red Sea–Suez Canal maritime corridor rather than with a single standardized container-terminal profile. The supplied port record identifies ship-repair quays extending 1,250 m, a stated working draft of up to 9 m for the repair facility, 60-ton service cranes and floating cranes rated at 500 tons for smaller-vessel docking and undocking. Our service team treats EGPTE as a port-area and marine-service routing point; cargo acceptance, terminal assignment, vessel suitability and actual sailing arrangements must be confirmed case by case.

Key Highlights

Strategic canal approachLocated at the southern approach to the Suez Canal, making routing coordination and navigational confirmation essential.

Port-area structureEGPTE should not automatically be treated as a conventional high-frequency container gateway; the exact harbour and facility must be confirmed.

Repair-oriented capabilityThe supplied record describes repair quays, service cranes and floating-crane support for marine-vessel work.

Case-by-case cargo planningVessel dimensions, draft, cargo form, handling equipment and local acceptance determine the feasible operating plan.

Facilities & Services

Marine repair quays: The supplied port data states a total repair-quay length of 1,250 m and a draft reaching 9 m for the shipyard repair operation. These parameters require confirmation against the specific berth, vessel condition and tide.
Heavy-lift repair support: Service cranes are stated at 60-ton lifting capacity, while floating cranes are stated at 500 tons for docking and undocking smaller marine vessels. Actual lift plans must be approved by the facility.
Multiple-harbour environment: Port Suez covers more than one harbour area. Booking, pilotage, berth allocation and cargo handling should therefore be matched to the nominated facility rather than inferred from the port code alone.
General cargo and project handling: Breakbulk, ship spares, machinery and project cargo may require direct confirmation of shore equipment, laydown space, lifting points and safe working limits.
Container and storage arrangements: Container availability, dedicated container-yard handling, bonded storage and inspection arrangements are not assumed from the port code. Our team verifies the receiving terminal, equipment and storage terms before issuing a firm plan.

Routes & Transit Times

Typical routing logic: Cargo planning may involve the Red Sea, Gulf of Suez and Suez Canal corridor, with onward connection to Mediterranean or other global services subject to carrier acceptance and the actual nominated terminal.
Transshipment assessment: Where no suitable direct service is confirmed, our team evaluates an alternative gateway or transshipment arrangement. Direct sailing, vessel frequency and carrier coverage must not be presumed for EGPTE.
Time-sensitive factors: Transit performance can be affected by canal traffic, vessel nomination, pilotage, berth availability, customs release, inspection, dangerous-goods approval, weather and inland pickup restrictions.
Quotation practice: We provide a planning range only after confirming cargo type, dimensions, weight, readiness date, equipment requirement, route and final receiving facility. Any quoted schedule remains subject to operational confirmation.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Primary hinterland: Suez and the wider Gulf of Suez area are the most relevant local service markets; inland delivery scope depends on road permits, vehicle suitability and the receiving site.
Maritime-service cargo: Ship spares, repair materials, marine machinery and vessel-support equipment are operationally relevant to the repair-yard profile.
Breakbulk and project cargo: Machinery, steel products, industrial components and oversized units may be considered when the facility confirms lifting, staging and safe-access arrangements.
Containerized cargo: Container movement may be possible through an assigned terminal or an alternative gateway, but our team does not infer regular container service, equipment stock or local storage from the EGPTE code alone.

Operations & Compliance

Cut-off control: Carrier closing, terminal receiving cut-off, customs declaration, VGM submission and dangerous-goods approval are separate milestones. Our team obtains the applicable schedule from the nominated carrier or facility; published port-code data is not a substitute.
Dangerous goods: Provide the correct UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, flash point, SDS and packing certificate where applicable. Approval must be obtained before truck dispatch or terminal delivery.
Customs and inspection: Commercial invoice, packing list, transport document, origin information, permits and any product-specific certificates should be consistent. Customs examination, document review or release may alter the planned delivery window.
Inland delivery: Confirm road access, truck type, axle and height restrictions, escort or permit needs, delivery-hour rules and unloading capability before accepting oversized or heavy cargo.

Shipping Tips

Send our service team the cargo dimensions, gross weight, packing method, lifting points, commodity, readiness date and final delivery address before requesting a routing recommendation.
For machinery, ship spares or project cargo, prepare drawings and a lifting plan early; verify whether the nominated facility can provide shore or floating-crane support and whether cargo must remain on board.
For containerized shipments, ask us to confirm the actual receiving terminal, equipment availability, empty-container location, storage terms and customs process rather than booking solely against “Port Tewfik.”
Keep an alternative gateway or transshipment plan available when the cargo is time-critical, subject to a separate review of inland cost, customs implications and carrier acceptance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is EGPTE a standard container port?EGPTE identifies Port Tewfik in the wider Port Suez area, but a regular container-terminal service should not be assumed. Our team confirms the actual terminal, carrier acceptance and equipment plan before booking.

Can heavy or oversized cargo be handled at Port Tewfik?Potentially, subject to facility approval. The supplied record states 60-ton service cranes and 500-ton floating cranes for specified marine operations. Cargo weight, dimensions, lifting points, berth, access and safe-working limits must be reviewed individually.

Can ship-repair cargo be delivered directly to the repair facility?It may be possible when the repair facility accepts the shipment and the vessel or project reference is provided. We confirm consignee details, delivery instructions, customs status, truck access and handling responsibility before dispatch.

What information is needed for a routing quotation?Provide the commodity, packaging, quantity, dimensions, gross weight, dangerous-goods status, cargo readiness, origin, destination, required equipment and whether the shipment is for a vessel, repair yard, terminal or inland consignee.

Are transit times fixed for EGPTE?No. The schedule depends on the confirmed carrier or facility, canal and berth conditions, customs release, inspection, cargo approval and inland arrangements. Our service team provides an indicative plan and reconfirms the operational milestones.

Data Sources & Provenance

The port code, name, location, coordinates and stated shipyard capabilities in this module are based on the supplied EGPTE port master data. The operational interpretation is limited to routing, cargo-planning and facility-confirmation guidance; it does not represent a guarantee of berth availability, terminal acceptance, vessel access, sailing frequency, customs treatment or transit time.

For canal-related navigation and authority requirements, our team recommends verification with the official Suez Canal Authority domain: suezcanal.gov.eg.

Customs procedures, declarations, permits and release requirements should be checked against the applicable Egyptian customs authority information and the nominated broker or terminal. Official customs reference domain: customs.gov.eg.

Facility-specific draft, lifting limits, cut-offs, storage terms, inspection arrangements and service availability must be reconfirmed with the relevant port, shipyard, carrier, customs representative and inland provider before shipment execution.
