This vast program, undertaken by DEME, included the reclamation of 1,000 hectares of new land, the deepening of the port’s approach channel to 23m and the dredging of a turning basin to 22m. 

This ambitious megaproject creates land for the expansion and further development of Abu Qir, which boasts an ancient history and is slated to become a bustling economic hub, supplementing nearby Alexandria.

Alongside this, a large multifunctional port facility will be developed adjacent to the Abu Qir Container Terminal, which is currently under construction.
