Maritime Week Egypt 2021

The inaugural Maritime Week Egypt is a high-level two-day virtual conference focused entirely on Egypt. Its aim is to demonstrate clearly that Egypt is ‘open for business’ by shining a spotlight on the country’s journey towards becoming one of the world’s most important maritime hubs. It will cover the important elements of shipping, oil and gas, bunkering, transport logistics, port development and the environment – all in the context of building a world-class maritime hub – and will feature a special focus on Egypt’s ‘crown jewels’, the Suez Canal and the Suez Canal Economic Zone. The event is intended to highlight Egypt’s ‘centre of the world’ geographical location and the impressive investment the country has been making, from expanding the Suez Canal to developing its ports and terminals, building new roads and railways, and developing a robust oil and gas infrastructure. But Maritime Week Egypt will also look at how best practice in other countries, and in particular the maritime sector, can be adapted to further enhance Egypt’s maritime offering.
