Yang Ming is seriously considering resuming Suez Canal transits, the company’s General Manager of Branches Ashraf Sami said during a meeting with Suez Canal Authority Chairman Osama Rabie.
SCA Chairman Osama Rabie said 1,358 vessels crossed the canal in August, carrying a combined net tonnage of 68.3 million tons, compared with 1,070 vessels and 45.2 million tons in August 2025.
The Suez Canal company will be formed in partnership with a private sector firm operating in general supplies and contracting, and will focus on dredging projects, maritime works, and related supply activities.
Gamal El-Din said the zone’s recent progress reflects years of reforms launched since 2015, with 2025 marking a “harvest year” for those efforts.
He highlighted that the SCZone currently comprises six ports and four industrial zones, supported by a unified digital investor services platform, positioning it as an integrated hub for manufacturing, logistics, and trade.
