Since entering the Egyptian market in 2008, CCCC has undertaken major projects, contributing to Egypt's economic and social development.
Since entering the Egyptian market in 2008, CCCC has undertaken major projects including the second phase of the Port Said Container Terminal, the second phase of the Sokhna Container Terminal and the Abu Qir Container Terminal, contributing to Egypt's economic and social development.
Second Phase of the Port Said Container Terminal

Located at the northern entrance to the Suez Canal, Port Said is a key shipping hub connecting the Mediterranean and Red Sea. Built by CHEC, the Second Phase of the Port Said Container Terminal has a 1,200-meter-long quay and was completed in July 2012. The project addressed the limitations of the port, including insufficient water depth that prevented ultra-large vessels from berthing, significantly enhancing Egypt's maritime transport capacity and supporting the growth of its shipping economy. Today, the port has an annual handling capacity of 7 million TEUs, making it Egypt's largest container port by throughput.
Second Phase of the Sokhna Container Terminal

Located at the southern entrance to the Suez Canal, the project is a key link in the shipping route connecting Asia, Africa and Europe. Faced with the challenging task of excavating a 540,000-square-meter harbor basin, the project team set a record for daily excavation of 100,000 cubic meters through technological innovation. Completed in February 2021, the project increased the container terminal's handling capacity from 1.1 million TEUs to 2.85 million TEUs, providing strong impetus for the development of the Suez Canal Economic Zone and Egypt's economic and social development.
Abu Qir Container Terminal

Built by CHEC, the Abu Qir Container Terminal in Alexandria is Egypt's largest deep-water container terminal. With a total quay length of 1,270.6 meters, the terminal began operations in October 2024 and has an annual handling capacity of 2 million TEUs, opening a new maritime gateway for Egypt's foreign trade.
During the construction of these projects, CCCC upheld the principle of "Teaching a person to fish," providing technical training to help Egyptian employees master advanced port infrastructure construction technologies and engineering management systems, while creating jobs and increasing incomes for local communities.
