Damietta Alliance Container Terminals

What Damietta Alliance Container Terminals does

Damietta Alliance Container Terminals JSC is a consortium-operated container terminal located at the Second Container Terminal (Tahya Misr 1) within Damietta Port, Egypt, registered under the Egyptian Private Free Zones System. The facility was established in 2024 and commenced commercial operations in early 2025. The consortium comprises Hapag-Lloyd AG (Germany) as anchor customer, and EUROGATE Group (Germany) and Contship Italia (Italy) as operating partners. The terminal serves global container shipping lines requiring deep-water berthing and high-throughput handling capacity, positioning itself as a new Eastern Mediterranean hub close to the River Nile with minimal deviation from major shipping routes and the Suez Canal.

The terminal's core product is end-to-end container handling: vessel berthing, ship-to-shore crane operations, yard stacking and storage, and gate operations for import, export and empty containers. Technical infrastructure includes 1,670 meters of quay length, 93 hectares of terminal area, 18 meters water depth, 12 ship-to-shore gantry cranes capable of 25 rows across deck (expandable to 16), 40 RTG yard units (expandable to 55), and an integrated Terminal Operating System (TOS). Final design handling capacity is 3.3 million TEU.

Revenue is generated through transaction-fee based container terminal services — vessel berthing, crane moves, yard storage and gate handling — quoted and negotiated on a per-vessel, per-container or contract basis with shipping lines; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is enterprise B2B, relying on direct relationships with global container carriers (Hapag-Lloyd being the anchor) and on the operational track record of EUROGATE and Contship Italia rather than traditional marketing channels. The company employs approximately 70 staff and has no public funding rounds, M&A activity, or listed equity.
